Description
A refreshing and creamy tropical smoothie packed with mango, pineapple, and Greek yogurt for a healthy and delicious treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed recommended)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
- A few ice cubes (optional, if needed)
- Optional toppings: shredded coconut, chia seeds, mango or pineapple slice
Instructions
- Prep the Mango: Peel the mango. Stand the mango on its end and slice down along the pit. Score the flesh of each cheek in a grid pattern, being careful not to cut through the skin. Invert the cheek and use a spoon to scoop out the mango cubes.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the cubed mango, frozen pineapple chunks, Greek yogurt, milk, orange juice, honey (or maple syrup), and ground ginger (if using) to a blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on low speed to start, then increase to high. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds. If too thick, add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. If not cold enough, add ice cubes and blend again.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey/maple syrup, tanginess with lime juice, or richness with coconut milk.
- Pour and Serve: Pour into a glass or two. Garnish with shredded coconut, chia seeds, or a slice of mango or pineapple (optional). Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, use more frozen pineapple or add a few more ice cubes.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
- Feel free to substitute other fruits like banana or papaya.
- For a vegan option, use non-dairy yogurt and milk, and maple syrup.
