Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 cup coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added nutrition)
- Ice cubes (about 1 cup, adjust for desired thickness)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Select Your Fruits: Choose a ripe mango with slightly wrinkled skin that gives a little when pressed. Fresh pineapple is best, but canned works if drained well.
- Peel and Dice the Mango: Slice the mango in half, avoiding the pit. Score the flesh in a grid pattern and scoop it out with a spoon. Dice into small pieces.
- Prepare the Pineapple: For fresh pineapple, cut off the top and bottom, slice off the skin, remove the core, and chop into chunks. Drain canned pineapple.
- Slice the Banana: Peel and slice the banana into rounds for easier blending.
- Gather Other Ingredients: Measure out Greek yogurt, coconut milk, honey (if using), and chia seeds.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: In a high-speed blender, layer the diced mango, pineapple chunks, and banana slices.
- Incorporate Yogurt and Milk: Add Greek yogurt and coconut milk for creaminess and flavor.
- Sweeten It Up: Drizzle in honey or maple syrup to taste.
- Add Chia Seeds: Sprinkle in chia seeds for added nutrition.
- Ice It Up: Add ice cubes, adjusting for desired thickness.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until smooth, scraping down sides if necessary.
- Check Consistency: Adjust thickness by adding more coconut milk or ice as needed.
- Taste Test: Adjust sweetness with more honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Pour into Glasses: Pour the smoothie into glasses using a ladle or directly from the blender.
- Garnish: Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a slice of mango/pineapple.
- Enjoy Immediately: Serve fresh and enjoy with a straw or spoon.
- Storing Leftovers: Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking.
- Freezing for Later: Freeze fruits in advance for easy smoothie prep. Portion out mango, pineapple, and banana into freezer bags.
