Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, adjust to taste)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • ½ cup ice cubes (optional, for extra chill)
  • ¾ cup coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Collect all ingredients to streamline the process—frozen mango, pineapple, yogurt, coconut milk, lime juice, and honey.
  2. Prep Your Blender: Ensure your blender is clean and ready; a high-speed blender works best for a smooth texture.
  3. Add Liquids First: Pour ¾ cup coconut milk and 1 tablespoon lime juice into the blender for easier blending.
  4. Incorporate Yogurt: Add ½ cup Greek yogurt for creaminess; it’s the secret to a rich, satisfying smoothie.
  5. Toss in Frozen Fruit: Add 1 cup each of frozen mango and pineapple chunks for that icy, tropical goodness.
  6. Sweeten if Needed: Drizzle in 1 tablespoon honey if you prefer a sweeter smoothie; skip if your fruit is ripe.
  7. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until silky, scraping down sides if necessary.
  8. Check Consistency: If too thick, add a splash of coconut milk; if too thin, toss in ½ cup ice cubes and blend again.

  10. Serve and Enjoy: Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with a lime slice or mango chunk, and sip your paradise!

Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet fruit for the best flavor; frozen fruit ensures a frosty texture without extra ice.
  • For a vegan version, swap Greek yogurt for plant-based yogurt and use agave or maple syrup.
  • Blend in small batches if your blender struggles with frozen fruit to avoid lumps.

Ingredients Notes

Mangoes provide a lush, sweet base loaded with vitamin C and fiber, so choose ripe, fragrant ones for the best flavor. Fresh or frozen pineapples add a tangy zing and natural enzymes that aid digestion; canned pineapple works but drain it well to avoid excess sugar. Greek yogurt contributes creaminess and a protein boost, while coconut milk adds a tropical depth—opt for full-fat for richness or light for fewer calories. A splash of lime juice brightens the flavors, and optional honey balances any tartness. Use fresh or bottled lime juice, but fresh offers a zestier kick.

Variations and Substitutions

Swap Greek yogurt for plant-based alternatives like almond or coconut yogurt for a vegan version. Replace coconut milk with almond, oat, or regular milk if preferred, though coconut enhances the tropical vibe. For a sweeter smoothie, substitute honey with agave nectar or maple syrup. Add a handful of spinach or kale for a nutrient boost without altering the flavor significantly. For a thicker texture, include a frozen banana or avocado. If mangoes are unavailable, try peaches or papaya for a similar sweetness. For a protein-packed option, toss in a scoop of vanilla protein powder.

Storage Options

Store leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake or stir before drinking, as separation may occur. For longer storage, pour into freezer-safe containers or ice cube trays and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge or blend frozen cubes with a splash of liquid for a quick remake. Avoid leaving the smoothie at room temperature for extended periods to maintain freshness.
