Ingredients

  • Mango (fresh or frozen) – 1 cup, diced (about 1 medium mango)

  • Pineapple (fresh or frozen) – 1 cup, diced

  • Greek yogurt – ½ cup (for creaminess and protein)

  • Coconut milk or almond milk – 1 cup (adjust for desired thickness)

  • Honey or agave syrup – 1 tablespoon (optional, depending on fruit sweetness)

  • Ice cubes – 4 to 5 (optional for chilled texture)

Equipment Needed

  • High-speed blender or smoothie maker

  • Measuring cups and spoons

  • Knife and cutting board

  • Glasses or jars for serving

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.
