Why You'll Love This Mango Pineapple Smoothie?
First of all, it tastes delicious: Made with fresh fruit, this is one of the most delicious ways to enjoy the summer(like this dragon fruit milkshake or banana milkshake).
Effortless: When you return from the grocery store with loads of fresh tropical fruits and wonder what to do with them all, this mango pineapple smoothie recipe is here to your rescue. Simply blend these fresh ingredients in the right proportion, and you'll be amazed at how easily you've whipped up a delicious treat(did you try this Cajun hot chocolate or pepper milk.).
With rich flavors: Believe me, the unique tropical flavors of pineapple and mango are preserved and complement each other perfectly, making this pineapple mango smoothie a beautiful combination of flavors and textures.
The ingredients
Pineapple: I have used fresh pineapples for this mango pineapple smoothie recipe. If you are unsure how to cut pineapple, here's a quick tip: use a sharp knife to cut through the tough skin. Then, remove the "eyes" (the small, prickly spots on the pineapple flesh). These can irritate your throat if left in, so be sure to remove them all.
Mango: Fresh or frozen mangoes work really fine. (I like to freeze mangoes when they're in season so that I can use them later.) Cut the mango, leaving the stone, scoop it out with a spoon, and discard the mango skin.
Coconut milk: I have always preferred to add non-dairy milk to a pineapple smoothie. I have added coconut milk, but if it is unavailable in your stores, you may substitute it with almond milk.
Optional: A scoop of ice cream or low-fat Greek yogurt would be a delicious addition to a mango-pineapple smoothie.
Storing Tips
Since mango pineapple smoothie is a perishable beverage, here are some essential storage tips to consider,
Short-term storage: Transfer any leftover smoothie to an airtight container and refrigerate it. It will be good for up to one day.
Long-term storage: To keep the leftover smoothie longer, freeze it in an airtight container. It will stay good for up to 5-6 weeks.
To thaw:
- Overnight thaw: Place the frozen mango pineapple smoothie in the refrigerator overnight to thaw slowly.
- Quick thaw: Alternatively, place the frozen smoothie in a bowl and submerge it in cold water on the counter for 2-3 hours or until softened.
- Blend and enjoy: You can simply blend the frozen smoothie and enjoy it as a slushy treat.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Ripen Fruits. Choose ripe pineapples and mangoes, which should be slightly soft to the touch.
- Freeze the Fruits: Freeze the chopped pineapple and mango before blending. This will allow you to make a thick and smooth smoothie without needing ice cubes.
- Single-Serve Portions: If you plan to freeze the leftover smoothie, you can divide it into single-serve portions, which is very convenient for thawing.
- Serve immediately: The freshly made smoothie tastes excellent. However, if you plan to use it later, store it in an airtight container and refrigerate it immediately.
