Pineapple Mango Smoothie Recipe

1 Banana: Adds natural sweetness and a creamy texture.
1 cup Pineapple: Fresh or frozen, for a tropical flavor and vitamin C boost.
1 cup Mango: Fresh or frozen, for a rich, sweet taste and vibrant color.
1/4 cup Yogurt: Greek or plain, for a creamy consistency and added protein.
1 cup Almond Milk: For a smooth, nutty base. Use unsweetened to control the sweetness.
Ice Cubes: As needed, to chill the smoothie and thicken it up.

Banana: Peel and slice the banana. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, you can freeze the banana slices ahead of time.
Pineapple and Mango: If using fresh fruit, peel and cut the pineapple and mango into chunks. If using frozen fruit, there is no need to thaw them before blending.

Layering: For optimal blending, start by adding the almond milk and yogurt to the blender. This helps the blades move more easily through the fruit.
Add Fruits: Add the banana slices, pineapple chunks, and mango chunks on top of the liquids.
Ice Cubes: Add a handful of ice cubes. If you prefer a super thick smoothie, add more ice.
Blending: Start blending on low speed to break up the larger pieces, then gradually increase to high speed. Blend until smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes depending on the power of your blender.
Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more almond milk and blend again. If it’s too thin, add more fruit or ice cubes and blend until you reach the desired consistency.

Pour: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender to get every last bit.
Garnish: Optionally, garnish with a slice of pineapple, a few pieces of mango, or a sprinkle of chia seeds for added texture and nutrition.

Taste: Taste your smoothie to make sure it has the right balance of flavors. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a touch of honey or a few dates and blend again.
Savor: Sip and savor your refreshing, tropical Pineapple Mango Smoothie, enjoying the burst of natural flavors and the health benefits it brings.
