Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 medium banana
- 3/4 cup coconut milk, plus more as needed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup ice, optional
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, optional
How To Make It
Add the coconut milk to the blender first. This helps the blades move smoothly and makes blending easier.
Add the frozen mango, frozen pineapple, banana, and lime juice. If you are using fresh fruit instead of frozen, add the ice to help thicken and chill the smoothie.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk and blend again until it reaches your favorite sipping texture.
Taste the smoothie before serving. Mango and pineapple are usually sweet enough, but if your fruit is a little tart, blend in 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. Add the second teaspoon only if you want it sweeter.
Pour into one large glass or two small glasses. Serve right away while the smoothie is cold, thick, and frosty.
Tips
For the best beach smoothie texture, use at least one frozen fruit. Frozen mango and frozen pineapple make the drink thick without needing a lot of ice.
Light canned coconut milk gives a richer tropical flavor, while refrigerated carton coconut milk makes the smoothie a little lighter. Both work well, so use what you have.
The lime juice is small but important. It brightens the mango and pineapple and keeps the smoothie from tasting too sweet.
To prep ahead, portion the mango, pineapple, and banana into a freezer bag. When you are ready to blend, add the frozen fruit to the blender with coconut milk and lime juice.
Add a pineapple wedge, lime slice, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top if you want a fun Pinterest-ready finish.
Blend it up and enjoy a quick tropical sip anytime!
