Ingredients
  

  • Frozen mango chunks (1 cup)
  • Frozen pineapple chunks (1 cup)
  • Coconut milk (3/4 cup; canned for richer, carton for lighter)
  • Greek yogurt (1/2 cup; plain or vanilla)
  • Banana (1 small, preferably frozen for extra creaminess)
  • Fresh lime juice (1–2 teaspoons)
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional, 1–2 teaspoons, if needed)
  • Vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon, optional)
  • Ice (a handful, optional for thicker texture)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, to enhance flavor)

Method
 

  1. Prep your ingredients. If possible, use frozen mango, frozen pineapple, and a frozen banana. This keeps the smoothie thick without needing much ice.
  2. Add liquids first. Pour the coconut milk into the blender to help the blades catch and blend smoothly.
  3. Layer the creamy base. Add the Greek yogurt, then toss in the banana. These ingredients build the silky texture.
  4. Add the fruit. Add the frozen mango and pineapple. Keep the bigger chunks on top so they push down toward the blades.
  5. Brighten and balance. Squeeze in the lime juice and add a tiny pinch of salt. If using, add vanilla extract for extra warmth.
  6. Blend until smooth. Start low, then increase to high for 30–60 seconds, scraping down the sides if needed. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut milk.
  7. Adjust sweetness and texture. Taste and add honey or maple syrup if you want it sweeter. For a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
  8. Serve immediately. Pour into chilled glasses. Top with a sprinkle of toasted coconut or a few pineapple bits if you like.
