Refreshing tropical drink
Smoothies are a big hit in our home! You can mix in all kinds of fruits and even veggies for a delicious and healthy breakfast, snack or dessert! I have so many tasty combinations that we love, and I’m always looking for more!
This bright and tasty Mango Pineapple Smoothie is a new favorite. The punch of pineapple and smooth flavor of mango is a perfect combination. Adding in the in flax meal will add extra fiber and omega 3s without changing the texture too much. That’s one healthy smoothie!
You can use fresh fruit but you will need to add extra ice and possibly honey, to taste, if the fruit isn’t fully ripened and sweet.
How to Make
BLEND. Add the milk, yogurt, pineapple, mango, ice and flax meal (if using) into a blender and blend until smooth.
FRESH FRUIT NOTE. You can use fresh fruit but you will need to add extra ice and possibly honey, to taste, if the fruit isn’t fully ripened and sweet.
Recipe Variations
- To make a healthier smoothie use low fat instead of full fat yogurt and add in ½ to 1 tsp of flax meal, chia seeds, wheat germ, fiber. A handful of spinach leaves can also be added into your smoothie for extra nutritional punch!
- Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder for a heartier, more filling smoothie. If your smoothie is too thick after adding the protein powder, thin it by adding some extra almond milk.
- Use almond or cashew based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt for a dairy free alternative.
- Either vanilla or plain yogurt can be used in this recipe.
Storing Info
STORE leftovers in an airtight container either filled all the way to the top or with some plastic wrap over the top of the smoothie if there is space between the top of the liquid and the lid. Add a bit of lemon juice to your smoothie before storing to prevent it from turning brown.
Keep in the fridge for up to 12 hours, although the pineapple will become more bitter the longer it sits and you may want to add in a little honey for sweetness.
FREEZE for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge until smoothie has reached desired consistency and blend again if any separation of ingredients occurs.

I could barely mix all that frozen food ( thankful I skipped the ice)… there is no way to mix it. This recipe should be a 3/4 cup or 1cup of almond milk.
