This Tropical Mango Pineapple Smoothie is sweet, refreshing, and full of bright fruit flavor. Mango gives it a smooth, creamy texture, while pineapple adds a tangy tropical sweetness that makes the smoothie taste fresh and sunny.
It is a great smoothie for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a warm-weather treat when you want something cold and easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can blend up a smoothie that tastes like it came from a beachside smoothie stand.
For the smoothest texture, add the liquid first and the frozen fruit last. This helps the blender pull everything down evenly and creates a creamier smoothie.
If you are using a Vitamix, start on the lowest speed and slowly increase to high. Use the tamper if needed to push the frozen fruit toward the blades, especially if you are making a thicker smoothie.
For a thicker smoothie, use less liquid or add more frozen mango. For a thinner smoothie, add a splash more coconut milk or orange juice.
For a creamier smoothie, use full-fat coconut milk or add half an avocado.
For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or use more Greek yogurt.
For a greener version, add a handful of spinach. The mango and pineapple will help keep the flavor sweet and tropical.
For a smoothie bowl, reduce the liquid to 1/2 cup and top with granola, sliced banana, pineapple, mango, and shredded coconut.
