    The tartness of the pineapple, mango, and orange balances well with the creamy vanilla yogurt, adding protein to your drink. Do not let the idea of prepping discourage you from making this smoothie, as I use conveniently frozen fruit chunks and it takes only 5 minutes to prepare.

    I also made a blackberry smoothie bowl that you might like!

    Ingredients

    Mango pineapple smoothie ingredients prepped on light background.
    • frozen pineapple chunks - I buy pre-frozen bags of pineapple from the grocery store.
    • frozen mango chunks - I also buy these pre-frozen.
    • orange juice - I use unsweetened.
    • vanilla yogurt - I like Greek but you can use regular if preferred.
    • fresh mint leaves - To garnish. Leave it out if you don't like mint.

    *Check recipe card for ingredient amounts.

    Vegan Variation

    For people who want a dairy-free version without yogurt, coconut cream is thicker than coconut milk and very creamy.

    Tips

    Cutting the pineapple: If you decide to begin with fresh fruit instead of frozen, it can be a challenge when you are trying to cut prickly fruit like pineapple, but here are some steps on how to cut a pineapple. First, lay the pineapple on its side and while holding it down, slice the top and bottom off. Stand the pineapple up and carefully trim the skin from top to bottom.

    Remove the dark spots called eyes with a small paring knife. Cut the pineapple in half from top to bottom. Then, cut each piece lengthwise again. You will have 4 pieces. Make sure to cut the core from each piece. Chop further into chunks.

    Ripeness of the mango: Figuring out the ripeness of a fruit can be tricky, especially when they have different indicators. For example, a rounded watermelon with a large yellow spot on it means it is sweeter.

    As for the mango, there are three ways to figure out its ripeness: the texture, the color, and the smell.

    The texture should be soft, similar to a ripe avocado. For color, it should be mostly orange or yellow. If the smell of the mango is strong, it is ready for eating. If you are stuck with an unripe mango, cover it with a towel to speed up the process.

    Enhanced flavor. Using grilled pineapple can enhance your smoothie with a unique, sweet and smoky flavor. Check out my tutorial for how to grill pineapple.

      My grandson loved this smoothie. So did I.
      I used a bit less orange juice because he likes a thick smoothie.
      Neither of us care for mint in a smoothie, but for those who do, it certainly must kick it up a notch. I will be making this often.
