Ingredients
1 cup frozen mango chunks
½ cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

- Blend Until Smooth:
Blend everything on high speed for about 1–2 minutes, until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Add more coconut water if you want a thinner consistency.

Taste your smoothie — if you want it sweeter, add a teaspoon of honey or a splash of orange juice. Blend again briefly.
- Serve:
Pour your bright, tropical smoothie into a glass. Garnish with a pineapple wedge or a sprinkle of shredded coconut if you want a little extra flair.
- Enjoy:
Sip and feel like you’re on a beach somewhere!
Notes
- Here are some quick notes for the Mango-Pineapple Tropical Smoothie:
Key Ingredients: Mango, pineapple, banana (optional for creaminess), coconut milk, and orange juice.
Customization:
For added nutrition, include chia seeds, flaxseeds, or protein powder.
Substitute coconut water for coconut milk for a lighter texture.
Add spinach or kale for a nutrient boost without altering the tropical flavor much.
Serving Tip: Garnish with a pineapple wedge, shredded coconut, or a sprig of mint for extra flair.
Consistency: Adjust thickness by adding more liquid for a thinner smoothie or using frozen fruits for a thicker, creamier texture.
Sweetness: Use natural sweeteners like honey or agave, but taste the smoothie first since the fruits may already provide enough sweetness.
Occasions: Perfect for breakfast, a midday pick-me-up, or a post-workout refresher.
