Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks
- 1 large orange, peeled and segmented
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 ripe banana
- 3/4 cup coconut milk, chilled
- 1/2 cup ice, optional for a frostier smoothie
Frozen mango gives this smoothie its thick, spoonable texture and naturally sweet tropical flavor. Fresh orange keeps the blend citrusy and bright, while pineapple adds a little tang that balances the creaminess of the coconut milk. Banana is optional in many smoothies, but here it helps create a smooth, mellow finish and rounds out the fruit flavors.
How To Make It
Add the coconut milk to the blender first. This helps the blades move easily and keeps the frozen fruit from sticking. Add the orange segments, frozen mango, pineapple, banana, and ice if using.
Blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely creamy. If it is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more coconut milk at a time until it reaches your favorite consistency. If you like a thicker smoothie, add a few extra frozen mango chunks and blend again.
Pour into one large glass or two small glasses. Serve right away while it is cold, bright, and extra refreshing.
Tips
Use a very ripe banana for the best natural sweetness. If your orange is extra juicy, you may not need any additional liquid.
For a stronger orange flavor, add 1 teaspoon of fresh orange zest before blending. Be sure to zest the orange before peeling it.
For a smoothie-bowl style texture, reduce the coconut milk to 1/2 cup and use all frozen fruit. Pour into a bowl and top with shredded coconut, granola, or extra mango.
If using canned coconut milk, shake it well before measuring so the creamy part and liquid combine smoothly.
Blend it up and bring a little sunshine to your glass!
