Ingredients list for strawberry mango pineapple smoothie

Fresh or frozen strawberries: For a creamier thicker smoothie, I prefer to use frozen strawberries. Strawberries also add a burst of sweetness and a beautiful pink color, along with a healthy dose of antioxidants and vitamin C.

Fresh or frozen mango chunks: Mango brings a rich, tropical sweetness and a creamy texture to the smoothie, along with vitamins A and C. If you a buying fresh, look for ripe mangos but not too mushy.

Fresh or frozen pineapple chunks: Pineapple adds a tangy and refreshing flavor, complementing the sweetness of the mango and strawberries, while also providing bromelain, an enzyme that aids digestion.

Banana (optional for extra creaminess): The banana enhances the creaminess and adds a natural sweetness, along with potassium and fiber.

Coconut water: Coconut water boosts the tropical flavor and adds a hint of natural sweetness, along with electrolytes for hydration. It’s a great alternative to orange juice.

Cup Greek yogurt (optional for a creamier texture and added protein): Greek yogurt makes the smoothie creamier and more filling, adding protein and probiotics for digestive health.

No matter your skills at smoothie-making, you’ll love how quick and easy it is to blend up this tropical treat.

Follow these steps to enjoy a taste of paradise right at home:

Prepare the Fruit: If using fresh fruit, wash and cut the strawberries, mango, and pineapple into chunks.

If using frozen fruit, just add them directly to the blender.

Pour in the Liquid: Add the coconut water to the blender. The coconut water not only adds a subtle sweetness but also helps in blending the fruits smoothly.

Add Greek Yogurt (Optional): For a creamier texture and added protein, spoon in the Greek yogurt. This step is optional but recommended if you want a thicker and more filling smoothie.

Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add 1-2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup. This is optional and can be adjusted based on your taste preferences.

Add Ice (If Using Fresh Fruit): If you used fresh fruit instead of frozen, add 1/2 cup of ice cubes to chill the smoothie and give it a frosty texture.

Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more coconut water to reach your desired consistency.

Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and add more honey or agave syrup if you prefer it sweeter. Blend again briefly to mix.

Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. For an extra touch, garnish with a slice of strawberry or pineapple.

Recipe tips

For best results, that is a thick smooth creamy smoothie, use frozen fruit.

Be careful when adding liquid. Too much and you have a thin smoothie.

So start with just a bit of water, 1/4 cup if your fruit is not frozen, or 1/2 cup if your fruit is frozen, and then proceed from there. A

A powerful blender such as a Vitamix will make it easier to make thicker smoothies as it can power through tough frozen smoothies.

It’s a good idea to keep frozen fruit on hand for when inspiration hits.

Either buy frozen or simply buy fresh and freeze in Ziploc bags.
