This Tropical Smoothie is fresh, fruity, and packed with the best tropical flavors! It’s made with banana, mango, pineapple, Greek yogurt, and your choice of coconut milk or pineapple juice!

Do you ever just want to drop everything and hop on a flight to the nearest tropical destination?

Unfortunately, sometimes that just isn’t in the cards. And that’s when I reach for this Tropical Smoothie!

It’s not quite the beach vacation we’re all dreaming about, but it sure tastes like one!

This smoothie is loaded with frozen tropical fruit, coconut milk or pineapple juice, and Greek yogurt. It’s refreshing, creamy, and if you close your eyes while you drink it, you’re basically soaking up some sun on the beach.

If you like this one, you’ll also enjoy this Mango Smoothie, this Pineapple Smoothie, and this Easy Homemade Pink Lemonade!

Ingredients Needed:

• Greek Yogurt: you can use plain or vanilla yogurt. Whichever you prefer! Vanilla will add more sweetness to the smoothie.
• Liquid: use either coconut milk or pineapple juice—or a mix of both! Coconut milk will make a thicker, creamier smoothie.
• Frozen Fruit: I use a blend of banana, pineapple, and mango which creates the perfect blend of tropical flavors.

Smoothie FAQs

Tips and Notes

• Use frozen fruit! Frozen fruit is the key to a thick, creamy smoothie.
• Add to the blender in the order listed. For the best texture, add the ingredients to the blender starting with the yogurt and milk, then ending with the banana, pineapple and mango.
• Serve right away. Smoothies are best fresh!

Tropical Smoothie Variations

While this Tropical Smoothie is great as-is, smoothies are also incredibly customizable. Make it your own!

• Use another liquid. I love the flavor of both coconut milk and pineapple juice, but feel free to play around with the liquid you use. Other great tropical options would be coconut water, mango nectar, orange juice, etc.
• Add other fruit. The banana, pineapple, and mango combination is insanely good, but other fruit combinations work great too. Try adding or subbing in frozen strawberries, peaches, kiwi, raspberries, you name it.
• Boost the nutrition. Give the smoothie an extra kick of nutrition with a scoop of old fashioned oats, a sprinkle of flax or chia seeds, or a handful of raw cashews.
• Make it green. Feel free to toss in a handful of fresh spinach or kale to turn this into a tropical green smoothie. You won’t even taste it!

It’s smoothie time, and this refreshing Mango Smoothie is at the top of our list of favorites!

It’s simple to make, filled with good for you ingredients, and keeps us satisfied during a busy day or after a morning workout!

How do you make a Mango Smoothie?

There aren’t a lot of rules when making a smoothie, but there is one that’s important to note!

Always add the softest or liquid ingredients at the bottom of the blender, and work your way up to the firmest or hardest to blend. This will ensure everything plays nice in the blender and you don’t have to stop and stir too many times.

For this Mango Smoothie, we’re using mango juice (sometimes called nectar), Greek yogurt, frozen banana and frozen mango chunks. If your blender is having a hard time getting a smooth consistency, you can open it and add a splash of juice, milk or water.

Optional add ins:

• 1/4-½ cup quick oats
• 2 tablespoons ground flax or wheat bran
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if desired to sweeten
• Other frozen fruits: pineapple, raspberries and strawberries are some of our favorites too add! Just reduce the banana and/or mango, or you’ll need to increase the liquid.

Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen?

If you don’t have any mango pieces frozen, you can use fresh mango.

Your Mango Smoothie won’t have quite as thick a consistency, but you can always add in a few ice cubes to compensate if you desire.

If you do use fresh mango, you may find it is slightly sweeter than frozen.

Can I use fresh banana instead of frozen?

I prefer to use frozen bananas in my smoothies because it adds such a rich and creamy consistency! I always have a big freezer stash for smoothie days (check out my post on How to Freeze Bananas to see how I prep them!).

If you don’t have any frozen bananas, you can skip them or add some in fresh. If you use fresh bananas and find that the smoothie is too warm or too thin for your liking, you can add some ice cubes and blend it again.

What can I swap for Mango Juice?

Mango juice or mango nectar can be hard to find, but I love the extra punch of mango flavor it gives! Look for a no sugar added variety for the healthiest smoothie.

If you can’t find mango juice, you can use almost any kind of juice, but my preferences would be peach, pineapple, apple or orange.

If you prefer not to use juice, you can swap it for milk (dairy or non dairy) or even water, but you may find you want to add honey for added flavor and sweetness.
