Why You’ll Love this Smoothie
- Simple ingredients and easy to make: Like many other smoothies, this one is simple and convenient. It uses basic, readily available ingredients and requires minimal effort to prepare.

Ingredients
- Mango: I used frozen mango chunks for this recipe. I love using frozen fruit in my smoothies because you will get the perfect consistency, texture, and creaminess. Mango is packed with nutrients, low in calories, may improve digestive health, etc. Read the following article about mango nutrition and its health benefits to learn more.
- Pineapple: For this recipe, I used frozen pineapple chunks as well. It’s loaded with nutrients, rich in antioxidants, may boost immunity, is easy to add to your diet, may aid digestion, etc.
- Banana: I used one fresh banana to balance frozen vs. fresh fruit. Banana will add natural sugar, so no additional sweetener is necessary. It will also create that perfect creamy consistency.
- Water: Just a little bit of water to blend the ingredients.
- Mango nectar: I used organic mango nectar (I bought it at Costco) to add some sweetness and an additional flavor. Also, this nectar will help blend all ingredients. I highly recommend using this juice. The taste is incredible.

Substitutions and Variations
- Make a smoothie bowl: If you don’t want to drink it, turn this smoothie into a smoothie bowl using less liquid. Start with ¼ cup of juice or water, and add more as needed. Also, you can add more frozen fruit until you reach desired consistency.
- Add leafy greens: Add a handful of kale or spinach to add nutrients.
- Add nuts or seeds: If you want to add some superfoods, add a tablespoon of chia or flax seeds. They are also great for good bacteria growth. You can also add a few almonds for an additional texture.
- Use avocado or Greek yogurt instead of banana: Not a fan of bananas? Try using ripe avocado or Greek yogurt to make this smoothie creamy.
- Add protein powder: Adding a scoop of protein powder is a great way to make this smoothie into a full meal. I highly recommend adding some powder, especially if you have this smoothie after a workout session.
- Make it sweeter: Add sweeteners like agave or maple syrup if you like a sweet smoothie.
How to Make Pineapple Mango Smoothie
Smoothies are one of my favorite breakfast options because they need a few ingredients, and it’s super easy to make.
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a glass or a jar and serve immediately!
Expert Tips and Tricks
- Don’t over-blend it: You want to blend the smoothie until all the ingredients are well incorporated, and the smoothie is lump-free.
- Use a high-speed blender: I recommend using a high-speed blender to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated and the smoothie has a smooth texture.
- Add liquid gradually: If you prefer a thicker smoothie or want to make a smoothie bowl, add water and juice in ¼ of a cup increments.
- Don’t add ice: I used to add ice to my smoothies, but ice waters down the smoothie, which also might change the texture and taste.
- Use ripe fruit: When making a smoothie, use ripe fruit. Underripe fruit doesn’t blend well, and it doesn’t taste good.
- Use frozen fruit: To ensure the smoothie will have a rich and creamy texture, I recommend using frozen fruit, or at least most of it.
FAQ
