MINTY PINEAPPLE MANGO SMOOTHIE

This was a perfect smoothie that was actually made with the left over fruits that were in the fridge. Call it refrigerator clearing mode. We were travelling to the village for the Christmas holiday and so we decided to clear rhe fridge of anything that could go bad while we were away. So there were lots of fruits that we could not just eat all at once, so I decided that a smoothie would be perfect. Even if there was left over, we would carry as we travelled on the road trip. I love the mint that adds such a vibrant tropical vibe and taste!

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Pineapple
1 Cup Mango
1 Cup Red Grapes
1 Tablespoon Desiccated Coconut
1 Teaspoon Honey
1 Tablespoon Mint
1 Cup Watermelon
1/2 Cup Coconut Milk

METHOD

Add the coconut milk in blender first. This makes the blending process easier if there is liquid at the bottom of the blender

Add the rest of the ingredients. The pineapple, mango, grapes,  watermelon, honey and desiccated coconut

Blend all the ingredients until you get a silky smooth texture

Serve immediately

I love how smooth yet thick this smoothie is

You can have it for breakfast, as an after workout drink or even a snack throughout the day. Very tropical and delicious

Minty Pineapple Mango Smoothie – FAQs

1. What is a Minty Pineapple Mango Smoothie?

It’s a tropical fruit smoothie made with fresh or frozen pineapple and mango, blended with mint leaves for a refreshing herbal twist. Often served chilled, it’s naturally sweet and hydrating.

2. What liquid base works best?

You can use water, coconut water, orange juice, or plant-based milks (like almond or oat milk). For creaminess, yogurt or coconut milk also works well.

3. Can I make it without added sugar?

Absolutely. Both pineapple and mango are naturally sweet. Skip sweeteners or use a small amount of honey or dates only if needed.

4. Can I add greens or protein?

Yes. Add spinach or kale for extra nutrients, or a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt to make it a post-workout smoothie.

5. Can this be stored?

It’s best fresh, but you can refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking, as separation may occur.
