Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 cup frozen pineapple
  • 1 cup frozen mango
  • ¾ cup orange juice
  • 12 tablespoons lemon juice

Dairy

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Flavorings

  • ½-inch ginger, grated or 12 teaspoons ginger paste
  • 12 tablespoons honey (optional, if you like it a little sweeter)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen pineapple, frozen mango, orange juice, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, grated ginger, and honey (if using) into a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend Smooth: Blend on high for about 30 seconds until everything is smooth and creamy. Use a tamper to push ingredients down as needed to maintain a thick texture.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of water or more orange juice to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass or jar and enjoy immediately for best freshness and flavor.
  5. Optional Toppings for Smoothie Bowl: Alternatively, serve as a smoothie bowl topped with toasted coconut, banana slices, homemade granola, and fresh oranges or mango slices for added texture and nutrients.

Notes

  • Frozen fruits can be swapped for fresh fruits with added ice cubes, but frozen helps achieve the thick, chilled texture.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the honey quantity or omitting it altogether if your fruits are ripe enough.
  • Ginger adds a gentle spicy kick and additional immune support; adjust quantity based on your taste preference.
  • For a dairy-free or vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or a plant-based yogurt alternative.
  • This smoothie is best consumed immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours—stir well before drinking.
