What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 0.5 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 cup orange juice
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Gather Your Frozen Fruit
Measure out the frozen mango and pineapple chunks directly from the freezer. There is no need to thaw them as they help create a thick and frosty texture.
Step 2: Load the Blender
Add the banana, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, orange juice, coconut milk, and honey to the blender in that order to help the blades spin freely.
Step 3: Blend on High
Blend on high speed for 60 to 90 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and has a beautiful golden yellow color throughout.
Step 4: Pour and Garnish
Divide the smoothie between two glasses. For extra fun, add a small pineapple slice on the rim of each glass to delight the kids.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- coconut milk → regular whole milk or vanilla yogurt for a creamier texture
- orange juice → pineapple juice for extra tropical sweetness
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using fresh pineapple without freezing first which results in a watery and thin smoothie
- Skipping the banana which acts as a natural thickener and makes the smoothie less creamy
