🥭 Ingredients & Substitutes
The exact amounts can be found at the end of this post.
Frozen Mango Chunks – The mango is the star of this smoothie! Mango provides natural sweetness, vibrant color, and irresistible tropical flavor. I recommend using frozen mango chunks as they make the smoothie thicker, however, you can use fresh mango too!
Frozen Pineapple Chunks – Add a tangy sweetness that complements the mango. Pineapple makes this smoothie even more nutritious because it is rich in vitamin C and digestive enzymes.
Greek Yogurt – Makes the smoothie extra creamy and provides a boost of protein and probiotics. You can use regular yogurt, but Greek yogurt gives a thicker and creamier texture. For a vegan option, use coconut yogurt as it will enhance the tropical flavors and pair well with the mango. However, you can also use any other plant-based yogurt.
Mango Juice – Enhances the mango flavor and helps blend the ingredients smoothly. You can swap mango juice with pineapple juice; however, note that the mango flavor will be weaker.
Honey– This is optional. If you use ripe mangos, your smoothie may already be quite sweet. However, if you want a sweeter smoothie or you are using unripe mangoes it is recommended to add a bit of sweetener. You can substitute with honey or agave syrup depending on preference.
How to Make This Smoothie?
Step 1: Add all the ingredients to a blender
Add yogurt, mango juice, and maple to your blender. Blend for about 20 seconds to mix everything together.
Toss in the frozen mango and pineapple chunks. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Taste and adjust the thickness
If the smoothie feels too thick, add a little more mango juice to thin it out. For a creamier texture, blend in extra frozen fruit.
Step 3: Serve
Pour the smoothie into glasses and garnish with mango, pineapple, or fresh mint if desired. Serve immediately!
📖 Storage Instructions
Fridge: Store the smoothie in an airtight container for 1 to 2 days. If it separates, give it a quick re-blend before drinking.
Freezer: Pour the smoothie into a freezer-safe container or ice cube tray. It’ll stay fresh for 2 to 3 months. When ready to drink, thaw in the fridge or blend frozen cubes until smooth.
Popsicle: Pour the smoothie into Popsicle molds and freeze for a fun, on-the-go treat.
🥥 Recipe Variations
Want to switch things up? Here are some tasty variations:
- Creamier texture – Blend in half a frozen banana for extra creaminess.
- Protein pack – Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Coconut twist – You can swap mango juice for coconut milk for a slightly different tropical flavor. Also, mango and coconut go so well together!
- Citrus burst – Add a squeeze of fresh lime or orange juice for a zesty kick.
👩🏻🍳 Expert Tips
- Use frozen fruit – This keeps your smoothie thick and cold without needing extra ice, which can dilute the flavor.
- Blend in stages– Start with liquids and yogurt before adding frozen fruit to ensure even blending.
- Use smaller mango and pineapple chunks. Make sure that the chunks aren't too large, as your blender may struggle more with large chunks.
- Adjust sweetness – Taste your smoothie before adding sweeteners, as ripe mango and pineapple are naturally sweet.
- Make it a smoothie bowl – Reduce the liquid slightly and serve in a bowl with toppings like granola, coconut flakes, or fresh fruit.
