This Coconut Mango Passion Fruit Smoothie is a bright, creamy blend with sweet mango, tangy passion fruit, mellow banana, and a splash of lime. Coconut milk gives it that smooth tropical finish, while shredded coconut on top makes it feel like a sunny little café treat at home. It is simple enough for a quick breakfast, refreshing enough for an afternoon snack, and colorful enough to save for your Mango Smoothies board.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup passion fruit pulp or passion fruit juice
- 1 small ripe banana, sliced
- 3/4 cup coconut milk, plus more as needed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, optional
- 1/4 cup ice, optional for a frostier texture
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut, for topping
How To Make It
Add the coconut milk and passion fruit pulp or juice to a blender first. This helps the blades move easily and keeps the frozen mango from sticking.
Add the banana, frozen mango, lime juice, and ice if using. Blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely creamy and bright golden-orange.
Taste the smoothie before pouring. If your mango is very sweet, you may not need any added sweetener. If the passion fruit is extra tart, blend in 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup at a time until it tastes just right.
For a thinner smoothie, add another splash of coconut milk and blend again. For a thicker smoothie, add a few more frozen mango chunks or a little extra banana.
Pour into a chilled glass and finish with shredded coconut. A lime wedge, extra mango pieces, or a spoonful of passion fruit pulp on top makes it even prettier for serving.
Tips
Use frozen mango for the best thick, chilled texture without watering down the tropical flavor. Fresh mango also works, but you may want to add the ice for a colder finish.
If using canned coconut milk, shake it well before measuring. Light coconut milk gives a smooth but not too heavy result, while full-fat coconut milk makes the smoothie richer and creamier.
Passion fruit pulp with seeds adds a fun tart crunch, but you can strain it if you prefer a silky smoothie. Passion fruit juice is an easy swap when fresh passion fruit is not available.
To prep ahead, portion the mango and banana into freezer bags. When ready to blend, add coconut milk, passion fruit, and lime.
Sip, smile, and enjoy your little burst of tropical sunshine!
