Mango Pineapple Smoothie
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 banana (optional, for added creaminess and sweetness)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or regular yogurt (optional, for a creamier texture)
- 1/2 cup coconut water or pineapple juice (adjust to desired consistency)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, for a colder, thicker smoothie)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for added nutrition)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the ingredients: If using fresh mango and pineapple, peel and chop them into chunks. If using frozen, you can skip this step.
-
Blend: In a blender, combine the mango, pineapple, banana (if using), and yogurt (if using). Add the coconut water or pineapple juice and honey or maple syrup if you want extra sweetness. Add ice cubes if you want a thicker, colder smoothie.
-
Add seeds (optional): If using chia seeds or flaxseeds, add them to the blender.
-
Blend until smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more liquid to reach your desired consistency.

Taste and adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or add more liquid if needed.
-
Serve: Pour into a glass and serve immediately. You can garnish with a slice of mango or pineapple on the rim of the glass if desired.
