When we went to Maui on our honeymoon, we went to a pineapple field and picked pineapples right out of the field! It was amazing! I've been begging to go back, but instead we are stuck here in New England, I digress!

Since our honeymoon, I've been obsessed with pineapple! I love making strawberry pineapple smoothies and coconut pineapple smoothies. It transports me right back to the tropics! During the long winters, you can find me sipping on this mango pineapple smoothie pretending to be on a beach, and I'm not mad at it!

Ingredients to Gather

• Mango. Fresh or frozen mango. To tell if a mango is ripe, feel it. It should have some slight give to the mango. It should not be as hard as a rock, but it also should not be very soft. Make my mango apple smoothie with any extra mangos!
• Pineapple. Fresh or frozen pineapple.
• Coconut milk. This adds to the super creamy texture of the smoothie. You can easily find coconut milk in the grocery store in a can or in the milk section. The one in the can is pure coconut milk which has a little more fat than coconut milk that you can find in the milk section.

Substitutions and Variations

Here are a few additions you can make to this delicious smoothie!

• Banana. Just like in a banana orange smoothie, adding a ripe banana can not only add sweetness but also adds to the creamy texture of the smoothie.
• Greek Yogurt. I love adding Greek yogurt to most of my smoothies. It adds thickness and a hit of protein. In your local grocery store, you can usually find many different flavors of yogurt. Use your favorite in this smoothie!
• Change the milk. Use unsweetened almond milk, whole milk, soy milk, cashew milk, orange juice, coconut milk, or coconut water in this smoothie. All would work perfectly!
• Spinach or Kale: To make this a green smoothie, add a handful of spinach or kale. Be sure to use a high powered blender so the green leaves are mixed well. You don't want chunks of lettuce in your smoothie.
• Protein Powder: For an extra protein boost, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder, such as whey or plant-based protein powder.
• Chia seeds, hemp seeds, or flax seeds: For some added healthy fats, add your favorite seeds.
• Avocado. If you are looking to add some extra healthy fat to your smoothie, add a quarter to a half of a ripe avocado. You won't taste the fat but it adds lots of great nutrition to your smoothie.

Tips and Tricks

• Make sure to use fruit at peak ripeness! If you have some fruit at peak ripeness, freeze it so you can make this smoothie any time of the year. Frozen fruit in the frozen section of your grocery store is often frozen at peak ripeness so it is a great choice for smoothies.
• Sometimes, mangoes and pineapple might not be as sweet as you would like. If that's the case, feel free to add some maple syrup, agave syrup, or honey to the blender. Give it a taste and adjust the sweetness.
• You can use fresh or frozen pineapple for this smoothie and fresh or frozen mango. Cutting a pineapple can be a little tricky, so be sure to check out my how to cut a pineapple post for step by step instructions.
• Add ice cubes to the smoothie is you are not using any frozen fruit. The ice cubes will make the smoothie a little thicker. If you prefer a thinner smoothie, leave out the ice cubes or only add a few cubes.
• This smoothie makes one large smoothie or two small smoothies. You can easily double or triple this recipe to make more or to use it for meal prep.

Make Ahead Tips

This smoothie is best blended and enjoyed immediately. If you would like to meal prep this smoothie, you can blend it, separate it into mason jars and cover it. Place it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. As the smoothie hangs out in the refrigerator, it will separate. You can shake it, or you can place it back in the blender with a few ice cubes and blend it again.

You can freeze this smoothie as popsicles or for meal prep. Pour the smoothie into freezer safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Place it in the refrigerator to defrost it.

To make this smoothie into popsicles, pour the smoothie into your favorite popsicle mold and freeze it for at least 4 hours until it is hard.

Making Smoothies without a Blender

There are a lot of options to make smoothies without a blender! You can make it in a food processor, just be careful pouring it, there really isn't a spout or a clean way to pour it out of the food processor.

Another way that I make smoothies a lot is with my immersion blender. Add all the ingredients to a plastic container, like a large plastic cup. Don't use glass here, you don't want to chance the glass breaking. Place the ingredients in the cup and then blender with the immersion blender until it is the consistency you desire.
