    I am a smoothie girl at heart. They are the easiest and most refreshing breakfast, snack, and dessert at any time of year. My favorite part about smoothies is that they are healthy and filling. Personally, I love this mango strawberry smoothie in the summer and this snickerdoodle oat milk smoothie in the winter.

    This tropical mango pineapple smoothie is so refreshing, easy to make in 5 minutes, and will leave you feeling full. It’s made with feel-good ingredients like mango, pineapple, banana, Greek yogurt, and milk. You can even use dairy-free yogurt to make this smoothie vegan.

    This smoothie has over 16 grams of protein, with the option to add even more if you want to add a scoop of protein to the blender. It’s the perfect post-gym refuel, a simple breakfast, and even a healthy dessert.

    Anyways, I cannot wait to hear what you think about this smoothie recipe! It tastes like you are sipping on a tropical drink on a Caribbean beach. My family, friends and I are obsessed.

    Ingredients needed

    This pineapple mango smoothie calls for five healthy and simple ingredients. You’ll need a banana, a fresh or frozen mango, pineapple, milk of your choice, and Greek yogurt. Here is a list of all the ingredients, so you are prepared:

    • Banana: I used frozen banana and chopped it up, so it blends easily. You can use a fresh banana if needed, but make sure that you use frozen mango and frozen pineapple, if that is the case, so the smoothie is thick.
    • Mango: You need frozen mango pieces. This adds the perfect flavor and sweetness to the recipe!
    • Pineapple: You can buy frozen pineapple chunks or freeze your own.
    • Milk: I used unsweetened almond milk, but you can use oat milk, cow’s milk, cashew milk, or your favorite type.
    • Yogurt: I used 0% Greek yogurt, but feel free to use 2% or 5%. You can also make this smoothie dairy-free by using dairy-free yogurt.

    Kitchen tools required

    You only need a few kitchen utensils to make this thick, creamy fruit smoothie. Here is a list:

    • High-Speed Blender
    • Spatula
    • Measuring Tools: 1/2 cup and 1 cup.

    Tips for making thick & creamy smoothies

    Use frozen fruit. Use frozen mango pieces, mango chunks, and a chopped-up frozen banana to help thicken your smoothie naturally without adding a ton of ice. This trick makes super thick and creamy smoothies rather than icy ones.

    Make your own frozen fruit. You can buy pre-frozen mango and pineapple chunks in the freezer sections of the grocery store, or you can freeze your own by cutting up a fresh piece of fruit and storing it in freezer-safe bags for up to 3 months.

    Start with the minimum amount of milk. You can always add more milk if you want a thinner smoothie. To be safe, start with a 1/2 cup and add from there.

    Add a few cubes of ice. I never add more than 8 ice cubes to my smoothies because it can make them “icy” and not creamy. But adding a few helps make them thicker, especially if you decide to use fresh fruit instead of frozen fruit.

    How to make this smoothie even higher in protein:

    The best thing about this mango pineapple smoothie is that you can customize it and add extra protein. The smoothie naturally has 16 grams already, but feel free to add a scoop of vanilla or plain protein powder, a scoop of collagen, or 1 – 2 tbsp hemp hearts. This will add another 10 – 15 grams of protein.

    How to meal prep smoothies:

    I love meal-prepping smoothies! Here are the two easiest ways to do it:

    1. Prepare the fruit: add the pineapple chunks, mango pieces, and banana to an individual-sized freezer-safe bag. You can buy fresh fruit and cut it up, or you can buy frozen. This method makes it super easy to throw everything into a blender when you are ready to enjoy the smoothie.
    2. Freeze the smoothie: make your smoothie, then freeze it in ice trays and in freezer-safe bags as “cubes.” When you are ready to enjoy, simply add to a glass and let thaw in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. You can also blend the smoothie ice cubes for a quick thaw.

    Should I use fresh or frozen pineapple and mango?
