Mango Pineapple Smoothie (Creamy!)

This creamy Mango Pineapple Smoothie recipe features bright tropical flavors! It's naturally sweetened, easy to assemble, and incredibly refreshing. (Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free.)

This creamy Mango Pineapple Smoothie is one of my favorite smoothie recipes!

It's delightfully refreshing, rich in vitamin C, and only requires 5 simple ingredients for quick assembly. The smell and flavor are tropical island bliss!

We combine dairy-free milk and orange juice for the base. Then add nutrient-rich mango, pineapple, and banana. The result reminds me of a tropical-style Orange Julius! (So good.)

Enjoy it as a refreshing snack, breakfast, summer treat, or pick-me-up anytime during the day.

Ingredients for Mango Pineapple Smoothie

For this recipe, you'll blend in a high-speed blender:

• Mango: Most often I use frozen mango chunks as I prefer frozen fruit for my smoothies. But fresh mango can work too.
• Pineapple: You can either use frozen pineapple chunks, fresh pineapple, or canned.
• Ripe banana: The more brown spots on your banana peel the sweeter it will be. You can use fresh, but frozen banana will result in a creamier texture.
• Plant milk: Choose your favorite dairy-free milk. Soy milk, almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, etc. Coconut milk (or even coconut water) is also great for an added tropical taste.
• Orange juice: Either freshly squeezed juice from about 3 oranges or store-bought orange juice works great.
• Fresh ginger: This is completely optional, so you can leave it out if preferred. I like to add 1 to 2 teaspoons of freshly grated ginger to mine, but my daughter prefers hers without ginger.

Banana-free? Substitute a dollop of dairy-free plain or vanilla yogurt or vegan Greek yogurt instead!

Customizing

Fruit: Change it up however you see fit. Try peaches, kiwi, papaya, or strawberries. Or pour in other juices like pineapple juice, carrot juice, or lime juice.

Protein: Add a scoop of plain or vanilla protein powder if you wish. Or you can add hemp seeds, chia seeds, etc.

Matcha: For a boost of energy, add one teaspoon of good-quality organic matcha powder. Any grade of matcha will work with this recipe (ceremonial, latte, or culinary).

Greens: Add a boost of nutrients and fresh greens like spinach or baby kale. (It will alter the color however.)

Other additions: Sprinkle in a dash of ground turmeric, orange zest, or a half teaspoon vanilla extract. For more sweetness add agave nectar, vegan honey, pitted & softened dates, pure maple syrup, or your own favorite sweetener to taste.

Smoothie bowl! Reduce the liquid (or increase the fruit) and turn this into a thick smoothie bowl instead. Then top it with your favorite additions like fresh banana, coconut flakes, goji berries, granola, etc.

Tips

Fresh fruit vs. frozen fruit: For convenience and cost, I usually use frozen mango and pineapple. However fresh can work as well. Be aware that using frozen fruit results in a colder, thicker smoothie.

Liquid base: The key to this smoothie is using a liquid base of orange juice and milk. Using both of these creates a creamy consistency with sweet, delicious flavor!

Storing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container or sealed glass mason jar in the fridge. I find it's best enjoyed within a day.
