Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks (150g)
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped (165g)
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 cup coconut water (240 ml)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120g) (use dairy-free yogurt if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
- ½ cup ice cubes (120 ml, optional)
Instructions
- Peel and chop the fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks (about 1 cup / 165g). Peel the banana and break it into chunks. Measure out the frozen mango chunks (1 cup / 150g).
- Place frozen mango, fresh pineapple, banana, and Greek yogurt (½ cup / 120g) into your blender. Pour in the coconut water (1 cup / 240 ml) and freshly squeezed lime juice (1 tablespoon). If you want it sweeter, add honey or agave syrup (1 teaspoon). Add ice cubes (½ cup / 120 ml) if you want a frostier smoothie.
- Start blending on low speed, then increase to high. Blend for about 45-60 seconds until creamy and smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed to blend everything evenly. The smoothie should be thick but pourable.
- If too thick, add a splash more coconut water and pulse again. If it’s not sweet enough, add a little more honey or lime juice to brighten it up.
- Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with a pineapple wedge or a sprig of mint if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Use ripe fruit for maximum sweetness and smooth blending. Frozen mango chunks help thicken the smoothie without watering it down. If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let mango sit out for 5 minutes to soften slightly. Freezing the banana beforehand adds extra creaminess and chill. Add liquid gradually to avoid a runny smoothie. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and skip honey for vegan.
