Description
A refreshing and tropical Mango Pineapple Smoothie made with ripe mango, sweet pineapple, creamy coconut milk, and a touch of honey for natural sweetness. Perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast or a satisfying snack that captures the vibrant flavors of the tropics.
Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 ripe mango (about 200g), peeled and chopped
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned in juice)
Liquids
- 1 cup coconut milk
Other
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1-2 tbsp honey or agave syrup (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients at your kitchen counter for easy access and smooth preparation.
- Combine in Blender: In a blender, add the chopped mango, pineapple chunks, and coconut milk, ensuring the fruits are evenly distributed for a smooth blend.
- Blend Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, which should take about 30 seconds depending on your blender’s power.
- Sweeten to Taste: Taste the smoothie and add honey or agave syrup if you prefer it sweeter. Blend briefly again to incorporate the sweetener uniformly.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit slices for an attractive presentation and enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- If fresh pineapple is not available, canned pineapple in juice works well, but avoid pineapple in syrup to reduce added sugars.
- Adjust the amount of honey or agave syrup according to your taste preference or dietary needs.
- For a colder smoothie, freeze the mango and pineapple chunks beforehand or add more ice cubes.
- This smoothie can be customized by adding a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients without altering the tropical flavor too much.
