Mango Pineapple Smoothie
Serving Size: 2
DESCRIPTION
This tropical mango pineapple smoothie is sweet, tangy and creamy. The mango and pineapple provide a natural sweetness and a plethora of vitamins, making this drink delicious and nutritious. The banana and soy milk lend a creamy texture, making it satisfyingly thick and smooth. Perfect for busy morning and a hit with kids.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup mango chunks frozen or fresh
- 1 cup pineapple chunks frozen or fresh
- 1 whole banana
- 1 cup soy milk or preferred plant milk
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup optional
- ⅓ cup protein powder (unflavored) optional
METHOD
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend till smooth.Note: If using frozen, then let the fruit thaw out for 5 minutes before blending.
NOTES
- Freeze your fruit: For a thicker, colder smoothie, use frozen mango and pineapple. If you buy fresh fruit, freeze it on a baking tray in a single layer before adding it to bags.
- Use ripe bananas: Use very spotty bananas for the ideal sweetness and creaminess.
- Balance the flavors: Adjust the sweetness with maple syrup according to the ripeness of your fruit. If they’re quite tangy, you may need to add more maple syrup.
- Add liquid slowly: Add liquid gradually to achieve your desired smoothie consistency.
- High-speed blender: Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture. You can use a regular blender, but it will take longer, and you may need to use more liquid.
- Taste test: Always taste your smoothie before serving and adjust ingredients as needed.
- Add supplements: I recommend adding protein powder or greens for an extra nutritional boost, just like my blueberry pineapple smoothie.
