Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup ripe mango, chopped (preferably Ataulfo or Haden)
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped (or thawed frozen pineapple)
- 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt (Greek yogurt works too)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, to taste
- 1/2 cup cold water or ice cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and chop the mango and pineapple into roughly 1-inch pieces. If using frozen fruit, thaw enough to blend easily but keep cold.
- Place mango, pineapple, yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey, and cardamom powder into a blender.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy with no chunks. If too thick, add cold water or 2-3 ice cubes gradually and blend again.
- Taste and add more honey if needed. Stir in fresh lime juice and blend briefly to combine.
- Pour into tall glasses and garnish with mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately chilled.
Notes
Use ripe mangoes for natural sweetness; add honey to balance tartness if fruit is underripe. Avoid over-blending to prevent warming the drink. Whole-milk or Greek yogurt gives best creamy texture. For dairy-free, substitute coconut or almond yogurt and use maple syrup or agave instead of honey. Frozen fruit can be used and helps chill the drink naturally.
