Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1 cup coconut milk (or coconut yogurt for a thicker texture)
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
  • Toasted coconut flakes for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Select Your Fruits: Choose a ripe mango with slightly wrinkled skin that gives when pressed. Frozen mango chunks can be used if fresh is unavailable.
  2. Pineapple Prep: Cut fresh pineapple into chunks or drain canned pineapple well to avoid excess liquid.
  3. Banana Slicing: Peel and slice the banana into rounds for easier blending.
  4. Gather Your Liquids: Measure out coconut milk and orange juice. Use coconut yogurt for a creamier texture if desired.
  5. Sweeten It Up: Have honey or agave syrup ready for sweetness, adjusting to taste.
  6. Add Ingredients to Blender: In a high-speed blender, combine diced mango, pineapple chunks, sliced banana, coconut milk, and orange juice. Add honey or agave syrup if using.
  7. Ice It Up: Add ice cubes for a refreshing chill and frosty texture.
  8. Blend It Up: Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides if needed.
  9. Check the Consistency: Adjust thickness by adding more coconut milk or orange juice if too thick, or more frozen fruit or ice if too thin.
  10. Taste Test: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness with more honey or agave syrup if desired.
  11. Adjust Flavor: For a zesty kick, add a splash of lime juice or a pinch of cinnamon, then blend again.
  12. Choose Your Glasses: Use clear smoothie glasses or mason jars to showcase the beautiful color.
  13. Pour and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into glasses, filling them three-quarters full. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and toasted coconut flakes if desired.
  14. Add a Straw: Include a straw for easy sipping, opting for a reusable one for eco-friendliness.
  15. Sip and Savor: Enjoy your delicious Mango Piña Colada Smoothie, perfect for any time of day.
  16. Storing Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking.
  17. Experiment with Variations: Try adding spinach or kale for a green smoothie, swap banana for avocado, or add protein powder for a post-workout boost.
  18. Share with Friends: This smoothie is great for sharing with friends!
