Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 small ripe banana, sliced
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup ice, optional for a frostier smoothie
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, optional
How To Make It
1. Add the coconut milk and fresh lime juice to the blender first. This helps the blades move easily and keeps the fruit from sticking. 2. Add the banana, frozen mango, and frozen pineapple. If you want a colder, thicker smoothie, add the ice too. 3. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30 to 60 seconds depending on your blender. 4. Taste the smoothie. If your fruit is extra tart, blend in a little honey or maple syrup. If it is too thick, add another splash of coconut milk. 5. Pour into a tall glass and serve right away. For a pretty sunrise-style look, add a few small pineapple pieces or mango cubes on top.
Tips
- Use frozen mango and pineapple for the best thick, chilled texture. Fresh fruit works too, but you may want to add more ice.
- Choose canned light coconut milk for a richer smoothie, or refrigerated coconut milk beverage for a lighter blend.
- Add the lime juice gradually if you prefer a softer tropical flavor. A full tablespoon makes the smoothie taste bright and refreshing.
- For an extra creamy texture, use a very ripe banana with plenty of brown spots.
- To prep ahead, portion the mango, pineapple, and banana into a freezer bag. When ready to blend, add the frozen fruit, coconut milk, and lime juice.
- If the smoothie is too thick for your straw, blend in coconut milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches your favorite consistency.
