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.

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.
- Add liquid gradually: If you prefer a thicker smoothie or want to make a smoothie bowl, add water and juice in increments of ¼ of a cup.
- 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.
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 some protein powder: A great way to make this smoothie into a full meal is to add a scoop of protein powder. Especially if you have this smoothie after a workout session, I highly recommend adding some powder to your smoothie.
How to Serve
Serve this smoothie in a jar or glass so that you can drink it. Also, you can make a smoothie bowl instead.
Storage
Like any smoothie, I recommend drinking it right away to have the best taste and texture.
FAQ
You won’t get that creamy and thick consistency if you only use fresh fruit. I recommend using at least half frozen and half fresh fruit.
Pineapple mango smoothie is rich in vitamin C magnesium and B vitamins. This smoothie is also rich in fiber.
