Ingredients to make a mango pineapple smoothie
- Mango: One of the most popular fruits in the world, mangoes are a great source of Vitamin C, beta-carotene, and fiber.
- Pineapple: This tropical fruit is an excellent source of Vitamin C and manganese. It also contains bromelain, an enzyme that has anti-inflammatory properties.

- Coconut Milk: Coconut milk is a good source of healthy fats. It’s also dairy-free, making it an excellent choice for those who are lactose intolerant or have allergies to dairy products.

How to make A Pineapple Mango Smoothie

- Blend until smooth and creamy.
Tips for making a Tropical smoothie with coconut milk
- Use frozen mango or pineapple. This will give your smoothie a nice smooth, icy texture without needing to add ice.
- Use a high speed blender. This will ensure that your smoothie is nice and creamy and that you don’t run into any chunks of fruit.
- Drink it asap. This tropical smoothie is best enjoyed right away. The longer it sits, the fewer nutrients it will have.
- Make it into a smoothie bowl. If you’re looking for a more substantial meal, turn this smoothie into a smoothie bowl. Top it with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
popular substitutions & additions
- Add in some spinach or kale for an extra boost of vitamins and minerals. The addition of greens shouldn’t affect the flavor of your smoothie, but it will make it even more nutrient-dense.
- Swap out the Greek yogurt for a dairy-free option. You can use a plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond milk yogurt. Or you can leave it out altogether. I like the added protein benefit.
- Add a scoop of protein powder to increase the protein content of your smoothie. This is especially helpful if you’re drinking this as a post-workout snack. If you have some vanilla protein powder on hand, that will go well with the other flavors in this recipe.
- Toss in some other fruit. If you have some other fruits that you want to add to your smoothie, go for it! Banana is a classic tropical addition, but you can also try adding in some berries or even kiwi.
how to store this tropical smoothie
Store any leftovers in an airtight mason jar. But ideally, it’s best to consume immediately after making. You can also try adding a squeeze of lemon juice or lime juice to help prevent the fruit from oxidizing.
how long will this Greek Yogurt smoothie last in the fridge?
After blended, greek yogurt smoothies usually last a maximum of 24 hours in the fridge. But for you really don’t want it to sit more than an hour or two max for the best taste and texture.
Frequently asked questions
No, you don’t have to use frozen fruit. But I find that it gives the smoothie a nice thick, icy texture without adding any ice. If you use fresh fruit, you may need to add some ice to get the desired consistency. If you do add ice, it will thin out rather quickly, so you may need to add more as you go.
Yes! If you want to turn this into a smoothie bowl, make sure both fruits are frozen and limit the liquid to about 2 tablespoons. Then add your favorite toppings and enjoy. Some topping ideas include:
-Fresh fruit
-Granola or cereal
-Coconut flakes
-Chia seeds
-Nut butter
Smoothies are a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. They’re also an easy way to add more protein, fiber, and healthy fats to your diet. And because they’re liquid, they’re easily digestible and can help you stay hydrated.
