How to Make this Morning Mango Tropical Smoothie

The only piece of kitchen equipment you’ll need to whip this pineapple smoothie up in minutes is a high-speed blender. This is a simple dump-and-go breakfast recipe that’s ideal for busy weekday mornings or as a healthy snack! NOTE: Adjust the amount of milk (or add water or ice), depending on desired consistency, adding 1 tablespoon more at a time, if needed.

Ingredients

• Frozen mango. You can use fresh mango and freeze it yourself or use a bag of pre-frozen mango.
• Banana. Adds creaminess + sweetness.
• Frozen pineapple. I like to purchase frozen pineapples or canned organic pineapple mostly, however, you can slice an actual pineapple into chunks and freeze it, if preferred.
• Almond milk. You can use your favorite plant-based milk; you can also use water instead. See my homemade almond milk recipe!
• Greek yogurt. Plain + unsweetened. For a nice creaminess, I love to add yogurt to my smoothies. You can always substitute with dairy-free yogurt if needed.
• Raw honey. You can substitute with maple syrup, Medjool dates, or Agave, if desired.
• Chia seeds. You can sub with flaxseed meal if desired.
• Lime. Freshly-squeezed.

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:

• Sliced bananas
• Chia seeds
• Fresh mango chunks
• Fresh pineapple chunks

Can I Make a Smoothie Bowl?

If you prefer to eat your smoothie with a spoon, rather than drink it through a straw, make a smoothie bowl! Simply add less milk or use frozen banana to give your tropical smoothie a thicker texture. Then add your favorite toppings, including:

• Fresh fruit sliced
• Granola
• Chopped nuts like almonds, walnuts, or pecans
• Coconut flakes
• Nut butter
• Chia seeds, hemp seeds + flax seeds.

How To Make This Tropical Smoothie Dairy-Free/Vegan?

To make this fully dairy-free, the only adjustment needed is swapping out the Greek yogurt. Just opt for your favorite plant-based yogurt. Personally, I love the creaminess that coconut yogurt or cashew yogurt brings to the mix. To make vegan opt for maple syrup, medjool dates, or Agave instead of honey!

Can I Use Other Types of Milk?

Absolutely! If you’d like to switch things up with the type of plant-based milk that you use for this tropical mango smoothie recipe—–that’s totally fine! The world of plant-based milk is constantly expanding. From the classics like coconut milk, cashew milk, soy milk and almond milk, we now have delicious options like oat milk, and even potato and quinoa milk.

Flavor Variations

Looking to switch up your tropical smoothie game? Here are a few flavor ideas to jazz things up -

• Berries----Throw in a handful of strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for a berrylicious blend.
• Coconut---Use coconut milk, or throw in a handful of coconut to the mix it will taste like a pina colada!
• Protein powder--- Incorporate a scoop of your favorite protein powder for an extra protein kick.
• Vanilla--- A dash of vanilla extract can add a sweet and aromatic flavor.
• Mint or basil--- Add some fresh mint or basil leaves for a herby spin!
• Tumeric--- For health benefits of using turmeric, ensuring that it is paired with black pepper, helps to aid in curcumin absorption. You can add ½ teaspoon of turmeric + pinch of black pepper, if desired.
