Mango Pineapple Smoothie

This creamy vegan Mango Pineapple Smoothie recipe is made with banana (or yogurt) and optional ginger! It's naturally sweetened, filled with tropical flavors, and delightfully 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 is absolute 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: This smoothie can be made with fresh fruit, frozen fruit, or a combination of whatever you have on hand. Most often I use frozen mango chunks for convenience, but fresh mango works great 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: I use the freshly squeezed juice from about 3 oranges. But you can substitute with store-bought orange juice if needed.
• 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 yogurt or vegan Greek yogurt instead!

Customizing

Fruit: Change it up as 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 to this recipe like spinach or baby kale. (It will alter the color however.)

Other additions: Sprinkle in a dash of ground turmeric, orange zest, amla powder, etc. 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, etc.

Tips

Fresh fruit vs. frozen fruit: For convenience and cost, I usually use frozen mango and pineapple. However fresh works great as well. Be aware that using frozen fruit results in a colder, thicker smoothie. But it's up to your preference or whatever you have on hand.

Liquid base: The key to this smoothie is using a liquid base of both orange juice & milk. It creates a creamy consistency with sweet, wonderful flavor!

Storing

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