    Why You'll Love this Recipe

    • Easy Recipe This is an easy recipe made with simple ingredients. Just put all of the ingredients in a blender and blend! While you don't need a high speed blender, I do recommend using one in order to get the creamiest consistency.
    • Kid-Approved This is a creamy smoothie with tropical flavor. What's not to love?
    • Contains 9 grams of high-quality protein This is saying something for a smoothie made without protein powder.
    • Made without banana or yogurt This is a creamy fruit smoothie made without ripe banana, frozen banana, or yogurt. You're welcome. 😉

    Dietitian Tips

    This is a simple Mango Pineapple Smoothie recipe. You can always add a handful of spinach to turn it into a green smoothie or add chia seeds or hemp hearts (shelled hemp seeds) for more protein and fiber.

    Ingredient Notes

    Mango Pineapple Smoothie ingredients, labeled.
    • Frozen Mango Frozen mango chunks add sweetness and give this smoothie a creamy texture. Mango provides over 20 different vitamins and minerals, including fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin A. Mangos are also known for their anti-inflammatory properties.
    • Frozen Pineapple This is what gives this smoothie a taste of the tropics. Aside from fiber and various vitamins, pineapple contains a group of enzymes called bromelain, which may help with tissue healing and aid digestion.
    • Kefir I use vanilla flavored kefir. Kefir contains protein and probiotics. I tried making this with plain kefir, but it wasn't quite sweet enough for my kids.
    • Milk I use 2 percent milk. Good source of high-quality protein, calcium, and vitamin D.

    Here's a summary of how to make a Mango Pineapple Fruit Smoothie. For the complete recipe, including ingredient amounts, please scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    1. Put all of the ingredients in a blender and blend. I used my NutriBullet Pro and I've doubled the recipe using my Vitamix blender. Both blenders worked well!
    2. Serve and enjoy!

    Helpful Tips

    • Vanilla kefir can be replaced with plain kefir and two teaspoons of honey or a splash of orange juice for a touch of sweetness.
    • This is a fruit smoothie without yogurt. Kefir has similar properties to yogurt (made from dairy, contain probiotics, good source of protein), but the consistency and taste are different.
    • If you don't have kefir, use more milk and either two teaspoons of honey or add more frozen pineapple. It won't be quite as creamy without kefir or more frozen fruit, but it should still taste tropical.
    • If you have more ripe mango than you can eat, cut it into chunks and freeze it in a resealable freezer bag so you have it handy to toss into smoothies. Frozen ripe mango adds incredible flavor and creaminess to smoothies!

    Questions You May Have

    Can I add protein powder to this smoothie?

    You sure can. Blend in a small amount of protein powder at a time before adding more. While protein powder adds protein to smoothies, it also changes the flavor and texture of smoothies.

    Can you make this dairy-free?

    Yes, but it will change the nutritional composition of this smoothie.

    Both milk and kefir are dairy products. To make this dairy free, I would suggest using coconut milk or a combination of coconut milk and another non-dairy milk in place of the milk and kefir.

    Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?

    Frozen mango really adds to the creamy consistency of this smoothie. So, if I had to pick one fresh fruit to use in place of frozen, it would be pineapple.

    If you have time, cut fresh mango and a good juicy pineapple into chunks and freeze it for at least an hour before adding it to smoothies. Otherwise, use fresh fruit and add a few ice cubes.

    Equipment

    • 1 Blender

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 cup Mango, frozen frozen chunks of mango
    • 1 cup Pineapple, frozen Frozen pineapple tidbits
    • 1 cup Milk I use skim milk
    • 1 cup Vanilla or plain Kefir Vanilla kefir will make a sweeter smoothie.

    Instructions
     

    • Add all ingredients to a blender.
      1 cup Mango, frozen, 1 cup Pineapple, frozen, 1 cup Milk, 1 cup Vanilla or plain Kefir
    • Start blending at a low to medium-low speed to break up some of the frozen fruit. Then, gradually increase the blending speed to high.
    • Blend until a desired consistency is reached. I use my Vitamix and this smoothie blends in one minute at the most.

    Notes

    • If you don't have kefir, use more milk or a combination of milk and yogurt in place of the kefir. 
    • If you use plain kefir, taste the smoothie before serving it. You may want to add two teaspoons of honey to make it sweet enough.
    • To make this a green mango-pineapple smoothie, add blend in a handful of baby spinach.
    • I do recommend using frozen mango instead of fresh mango to give this smoothie a creamy consistency. If you only have fresh mango and don't have time to freeze it, add a few ice cubes before blending.
