🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: Before you start, make sure you have all your ingredients ready. This includes the mango, pineapple, banana, Greek yogurt, milk, lime juice, and any optional add-ins like honey or chia seeds. Having everything prepped will make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
- Prepare the mango: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the mango into chunks. If you're using fresh mango, peel it first. If you're using frozen mango, no need to thaw it—just take it straight from the freezer.
- Combine ingredients in the blender: Add the mango chunks, pineapple chunks, banana slices, Greek yogurt, milk, and lime juice to the blender. Make sure the lid is securely fastened before you start blending.
- Blend until smooth: Start the blender on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until all the ingredients are completely smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds, depending on the power of your blender. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust: Once the smoothie is blended, give it a taste. If it's not sweet enough for your liking, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup and blend again. If it's too thick, add more milk. If it needs a little zing, add a squeeze of lime juice.
- Pour and garnish: Pour the Tropical Mango Tango Smoothie into a glass. Garnish with a sprinkle of coconut flakes, a slice of mango, or a wedge of lime, if desired. Get creative and make it look as delicious as it tastes!
- Serve immediately: For the best flavor and texture, serve the smoothie immediately after blending. This will prevent it from separating or becoming too watery. If you need to store it for later, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
📝 Notes
- For a sweeter smoothie, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
