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:

• 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.

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 ½ 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 tablespoon hemp hearts. This will add another 10 - 15 grams of protein.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many grams of protein are in this smoothie?

There are 16 grams of protein in this mango pineapple smoothie recipe.

Should I use fresh or frozen pineapple and mango?

For this recipe, I highly recommend using frozen fruit. It makes for the creamiest and thickest smoothies. However, if you are in a rush and only have fresh fruit on hand, you can use fresh mango and/or pineapple. In this case, make sure to use a frozen banana to keep your smoothie super thick and creamy. You will also likely need to add a few ice cubes.

Can I make this smoothie dairy-free?

Yes, you can make this smoothie dairy free by using dairy-free milk and your favorite dairy-free yogurt. I like almond milk yogurt, oat milk yogurt, or coconut yogurt.

Is it vegan?

This mango pineapple strawberry smoothie is 100% vegan if you use dairy-free yogurt and plant milk.

Can I add protein powder?

You can certainly add more protein to this pineapple mango smoothie by adding 1 scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder or collagen.

Can I double or triple the recipe?

You can easily double or triple this recipe. Simply follow the same instructions and make sure your blender is big enough to hold all the ingredients.

Can I use a fresh banana?

You can certainly use a fresh banana in this recipe. If you do, I recommend using frozen mangos and frozen pineapple chunks so the smoothie is thick. You can also try adding 1 - 5 ice cubes if needed.

Can I add other types of fruit or berries?

Yes! Feel free to add a handful of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries.

How to store and freeze smoothies for meal prep:

You can freeze smoothies for up to 3 months for meal prep. I like to freeze them in ice trays and store them 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.
