Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) orange juice
- ½ cup (120 ml) coconut milk (from a carton or canned)
- ½ cup (120 g) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 cup (150 g) frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup (150 g) frozen mango chunks
- 1 ripe banana
- 1–2 tsps honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- Ice cubes (optional, for thicker texture)
- Optional toppings: shredded coconut, chia seeds, fresh fruit slices
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather fresh pineapple, ripe mango, ripe banana, coconut milk, orange juice, and Greek yogurt, ensuring all produce is at peak ripeness for maximum flavor intensity.
- Blending Fusion: Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender, pulsing initially to break down larger fruit chunks before switching to high speed for a silky-smooth tropical elixir.
- Texture Optimization: Assess the smoothie’s consistency, adding ice cubes if a more glacial thickness is desired, and incorporate optional natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup to elevate the flavor profile, blending until perfectly harmonized.
Notes
- Refrigerate fruits and coconut milk beforehand for a more refreshing and frosty smoothie texture.
- Start with small amounts of honey or maple syrup, tasting gradually to prevent over-sweetening the tropical blend.
- Swap Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives like silken tofu or protein powder for vegan or lactose-free options.
- Consume the smoothie immediately after blending to maintain its creamy consistency and vibrant tropical flavors.
