Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mango pieces
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- ½ - 1 large frozen banana (start with ½ a frozen banana and add more if desired)
- ½ cup milk (almond milk, oat milk, cashew milk, or regular cow's milk)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative like almond milk yogurt or coconut yogurt)
Optional Add-Ins
- 1 scoop collagen
- 1 – 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 – 2 tbsp hemp hearts
- 1 scoop plain or vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the frozen mango pieces, frozen pineapple chunks, frozen banana, milk, and Greek yogurt into a high-speed blender. If using optional add-ins such as collagen, chia seeds, hemp hearts, or protein powder, add them as well.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust the texture by adding more milk for a thinner smoothie or adding more frozen fruit or ice cubes for a thicker consistency.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and freshness.
Notes
- Use frozen bananas and fruits to ensure a thick and chilled smoothie without the need for ice.
- Choose dairy-free milk and yogurt alternatives to make the smoothie vegan and dairy-free.
- Adjust the amount of banana depending on the desired thickness and sweetness.
- Optional add-ins can boost the nutritional profile, adding protein and omega fatty acids.
- Serve immediately after blending for best texture and flavor.
