Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version)
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut water or orange juice
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Fresh mint leaves or shredded coconut for garnish
Instructions
- Start by pouring your coconut water or orange juice into the blender. Adding the liquid first helps the blender blades move freely and prevents the frozen fruit from getting stuck at the bottom.
- Add the Greek yogurt and your choice of sweetener, such as honey or maple syrup, into the blender. The yogurt provides a wonderful creamy texture and a boost of protein to keep you full longer.
- Place the frozen mango and pineapple chunks on top of the liquid and yogurt. Using frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit ensures your smoothie is thick and cold without needing to add ice, which can water down the flavor.
- Secure the lid on your blender and start on a low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend for about 45 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no fruit chunks remain.
- Pour the smoothie into two chilled glasses. Top with shredded coconut, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a fresh mint leaf for a professional look. Serve immediately while it is perfectly cold.
