A refreshing and light tropical smoothie combining frozen mango, pineapple, coconut water, and lime juice, designed to support calorie deficit goals without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen mango chunks
  • 1 cup (165g) frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup (240ml) coconut water
  • ยฝ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (optional, use dairy-free yogurt for vegan)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (7g) honey or agave syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure out 1 cup (150g) of frozen mango chunks and 1 cup (165g) of frozen pineapple chunks.
  2. Place the frozen mango and pineapple chunks into the blender jar.
  3. Add 1 cup (240ml) of coconut water and ยฝ cup (120g) of plain Greek yogurt to the blender.
  4. Squeeze 1 tablespoon (15ml) of fresh lime juice into the blender.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon (5g) of chia seeds and 1 teaspoon (7g) of honey or agave syrup if desired.
  6. Secure the lid and blend on high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
  7. Check the consistency; add more coconut water if too thick or more frozen fruit if too thin.
  8. Pour into a glass and serve immediately, optionally garnished with a pineapple wedge or chia seeds.

Notes

Use frozen fruit to keep the smoothie thick and cold without adding ice. Blend frozen fruit first before liquids to avoid a watery texture. Adjust thickness by adding more coconut water or frozen fruit as needed. For vegan version, swap Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and coconut water with almond milk or water. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours and stir before drinking.
