1 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks
1 ripe banana (for natural sweetness and creaminess)
1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creamier texture or light for fewer calories)

Instructions

Step 1: Choose Your Fruit Base

For the thickest, frostiest smoothie, use frozen pineapple and mango. If using fresh fruit, simply add a handful of ice cubes.

Step 2: Layer Ingredients in Blender

Add coconut milk first (this helps the blades spin smoothly), followed by banana, pineapple, mango, and any optional add-ins like chia seeds.

Step 3: Blend Until Creamy

Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut milk or orange juice.

Step 4: Serve & Garnish

Pour into chilled glasses, sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes, or add a skewer of tropical fruit for that island touch. Sip and enjoy your tropical escape!
