WHAT YOU NEED FOR A PINEAPPLE MANGO SMOOTHIE

• Frozen mango chunks: Since mangoes are harder to cut, I recommend buying them already cut and frozen.
• Frozen pineapple chunks: You can buy pre-cut frozen pineapple or do what I do and cut fresh pineapple and freeze it
• Protein powder: My recommendation is Ancient Nutrition Collagen peptides. Use unflavored protein if you can so it doesn’t dull the tropical flavor
• Almond milk: I like to use an unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but any kind will work. You can also substitute this with any non-dairy milk

HOW TO MAKE A CREAMY PROTEIN PINEAPPLE MANGO SMOOTHIE

1. To a high-speed blender add frozen mangos, frozen pineapple, protein powder, and almond milk
2. Blend on high speed until thick, smooth, and creamy
3. Pour into a glass, top with fresh mango and granola, and enjoy

SMOOTHIE ADD-INS

Extra additions are the perfect way to sneak some more nutrition into this (already) healthy smoothie

• Ground flax seeds: Flax seeds are a good source of protein and fiber
• Chia seeds: Chia seeds are highly nutritious little seeds, they’re also a large source of fiber
• Hemp seeds: These are a good way to add in extra protein, carbs, and healthy fats
• Plain yogurt: It won’t be Paleo or dairy free, but a creamy, tropical Greek yogurt smoothie is a great way to add even more protein
• Spinach: Spinach is a wonderful source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and iron
• Nut butters: Almond butter, cashew butter, and macadamia nut butter will all add protein and fat without taking away from the sweet flavor

EXPERT TIPS

• If you only have fresh fruit, thicken the smoothie with a frozen banana or cauliflower rice. Regular ice won’t make it thick and creamy
• You could substitute the almond milk with orange juice for even more tropical flavor
• Any non-dairy milk will work– oat milk, light coconut milk, or soy milk for more protein
• If you can’t find frozen pineapple and frozen mango at the store, a frozen tropical fruit blend will work
• Use frozen fruit for the creamiest smoothie

FAQs

How do I store leftover smoothie?

Smoothies are best enjoyed when they’re fresh, but if you must store it, keep it in a Mason jar in the fridge for 1-2 days. It will be more liquidy but still delicious.

Can I use fresh fruit?

You can, but it won’t be a creamy mango pineapple smoothie. If you are going to use fresh mango and pineapple, then try freezing almond milk cubes or a banana to help make it creamier.

Is pineapple and mango good for you?

Yes, both fruits are extremely healthy and nutrient powerhouses.
