What you will need

- 0.5 cup vanilla yogurt
- 0.5 whole ripe banana
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Fruit
Measure out the frozen mango and pineapple chunks and add them directly to the blender. The frozen fruit helps create a thick and frosty texture without needing extra ice.
Step 2: Add Remaining Ingredients
Add the banana, vanilla yogurt, coconut water, and fresh lime juice into the blender on top of the frozen fruit.
Step 3: Blend on High
Blend everything on high speed for 60 to 90 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth with no chunks remaining.
Step 4: Pour and Serve
Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a slice of pineapple on the rim for a fun tropical presentation kids will love.
