Pineapple Mango Sunshine Smoothie
This pineapple mango sunshine smoothie is my absolute favorite smoothie. It is bright, tropical, and naturally sweet, and it only takes 4 ingredients and about 3 minutes. It is a nice afternoon snack, a quick breakfast, or an after dinner dessert for me.
Usually when I make smoothies I add chia and spinach, so this is a real indulgence smoothie for me because it doesn’t have either of those things! It is pure, sunny fruit flavor.
I buy my frozen fruits at Sam’s Club or Costco, so this is a very easy recipe because I always have everything I need on hand, except on the day after I make Banana Bread!
Why You’ll Love This Smoothie
- Just 4 ingredients: pineapple juice, frozen mango, a banana, and frozen mixed fruit.
- No added sugar: all the sweetness comes from the fruit and juice.
- Ready in 3 minutes: dump, blend, and pour.
- Kid approved: it tastes like a tropical treat, so it is an easy way to get more fruit in.
What You Need
- Pineapple juice: the liquid that makes it blend. Orange juice or a pineapple orange blend works too.
- Frozen mango chunks: they make the smoothie thick and creamy without ice.
- Ripe banana: adds sweetness and body. Use a frozen banana for an extra thick smoothie.
- Frozen mixed fruit: I like a tropical blend with strawberries, pineapple, mango, and peaches.
How to Make It
- Pour the pineapple juice into the blender first. Liquid on the bottom helps everything blend smoothly.
- Add the banana, frozen mango, and frozen mixed fruit.
- Blend on high until smooth, about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Taste and adjust: add a splash more juice to thin it, or a few more frozen chunks to thicken it. Pour and enjoy!
Tips and Easy Swaps
- Add protein: blend in 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, like my Instant Pot Greek Yogurt, for a more filling breakfast.
- Add greens: toss in a handful of spinach or a spoonful of chia, like I do in my Mango Green Smoothie. You will hardly taste the spinach.
- Make it creamier: swap half the juice for coconut milk for a piña colada vibe.
- Too thick? Add juice a little at a time. Too thin? Add more frozen fruit or a few ice cubes.
Make Ahead and Leftovers
For busy mornings, portion the mango, banana slices, and mixed fruit into freezer bags. In the morning, dump one bag into the blender with the juice and blend. Leftover smoothie can be poured into popsicle molds and frozen for an easy summer treat.
