Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
If using fresh mangoes and pineapples, peel and cut them into chunks. Frozen fruits can go straight into the blender — they’ll also make your smoothie thicker and colder without needing ice.
Step 2: Add Everything to Blender
Add mango, pineapple, yogurt, milk, and sweetener (if using) into the blender. Add any optional ingredients you like, such as banana or seeds.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until everything is creamy and lump-free. Stop and scrape the sides if necessary.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a little extra milk; if it’s too thin, add a few more frozen fruit chunks.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
Taste the smoothie. If you want it sweeter, add a touch of honey or more pineapple. For an extra tropical flavor, a squeeze of lime juice adds a bright contrast.
Step 5: Serve Immediately
Pour into chilled glasses or mason jars. Garnish with small pineapple wedges, mango slices, or coconut flakes. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
