Ingredients

  • 1 cup mango chunks frozen
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks frozen
  • 1 ripe banana frozen

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until completely smooth and creamy
  • Adjust the consistency if needed. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again. For a thinner consistency, add more coconut milk or orange juice.
  • Divide among two glasses and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Tips for the Best Tropical Smoothie:
  • Use Frozen Fruits: Frozen mango, pineapple, and banana make the smoothie cold and thick without needing too much ice, which can dilute the flavors.
  • Ripeness Matters: Ensure your banana is very ripe (with lots of brown spots) before freezing. This will add natural sweetness and a smoother texture.
  • Adjust Sweetness: If you find the smoothie isn’t sweet enough for your taste, you can add pitted dates, agave, or sweetener of choice to taste.
  • Customize Your Fruits: Feel free to experiment with other tropical fruits like papaya or kiwi for a unique twist. Just ensure the fruit is ripe and sweet for the best flavor.
  • Cocktail Option: For a fun tropical cocktail, add a splash of rum to the smoothie. Blend it in for a deliciously refreshing drink perfect for parties or a relaxing by the pool.
