Preparing The Ingredients

Start by gathering fresh mangoes and pineapples. Choose ripe ones for the best flavor. You will notice that ripe mangoes and pineapples have a sweet smell and feel slightly soft to the touch.

First, wash and peel your mango. Slice it down the sides to separate the flesh from the pit. Cut the slices into smaller chunks.

Next, tackle the pineapple. Cut off the top and bottom first. Stand it upright and slice away the skin. Once peeled, cut the pineapple into rings, then into chunks.

You will need a liquid base. Choose between plant-based milk or fruit juice. Almond milk or coconut water are good options. Have about one cup ready.

Before blending, make sure you have ice or frozen fruit on hand if you like your smoothie extra cold and refreshing.

Finally, measure out roughly one cup each of the mango and pineapple chunks. You may adjust to taste. Place everything close to your blender and get ready to mix.

Variations To Try

• Switch things up by adding spinach to your smoothie for a green twist. You won’t taste the greens, but you’ll get some extra nutrients.
• Feel like getting creative? Toss in some chia seeds or flaxseeds. They add a fun texture and a boost of fiber. Just a spoonful will do the trick.
• Want it creamier? Blend in some avocado. This gives your smoothie a rich, velvety texture. Plus, it’s packed with healthy fats.
• For a tropical vibe, try adding coconut milk instead of regular plant-based milk. It brings a unique flavor that’s perfect for this fruity mix.
• Consider using frozen berries like strawberries or blueberries. They’re great for a burst of different flavors and add a lovely color.
• Don’t forget about spices! A hint of cinnamon or ginger can add some warmth and zing to your smoothie. Start with a pinch and adjust to your taste.
• Need more protein? Mix in a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder. This helps keep you full and adds a nutritional boost.
• Try adding dates or maple syrup for natural sweetness. They blend well with the fruits, enhancing their flavors without overpowering them.
• Experiment with different nut butters like almond or peanut for a richer taste. They add a nutty touch and a bit of protein as well.

Storage Tips

• When storing your vegan mango pineapple smoothie, make sure to use an airtight container. This keeps it fresh and prevents any unwanted flavors from getting in. If you’ve got a mason jar with a tight lid, that’s a great choice.
• It’s best to keep your smoothie in the fridge if you plan on drinking it within a day or two. This helps maintain its taste and texture. Just give it a good shake before you enjoy it again.
• For longer storage, consider freezing your smoothie. Pour it into a freezer-safe container, leaving some room for expansion. When you’re ready to drink, let it thaw in the fridge for a few hours. This way, your smoothie is almost as good as freshly made.
