If you find yourself in the mood for something exotic and refreshing, I heartily recommend making a pineapple mango smoothie. This tropical drink is made with coconut milk, fruit, yogurt, and fruit juice, along with some ice to make it extra-refreshing. It’s a delicious treat for breakfast or brunch but ideal to infuse your day with some sunshine whatever the weather outside. Sweet, tangy, energizing, and totally delicious, you simply can’t go wrong with this quick, easy and nutritious smoothie.

This pineapple mango smoothie pairs naturally sweet fruit flavors with creamy yogurt and a splash of coconut milk to make the most delicious drink ever.
Also try a banana cashew smoothie, coconut strawberry kiwi smoothie, Jamba Juice mango smoothie, or this smoothie with matcha and banana.

Tropical Smoothie Ingredients
A complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

Blend the ingredients: Peel and chop the mango and then add it to a blender with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth.
The finishing touches: Blend in more yogurt if you want it thicker, and then pour into a cup or glass and garnish with fresh fruit if liked.
Substitutions and Variations
Adjust the consistency: The more yogurt you add, the thicker your smoothie will come out.
Add greens: If you’re adding some greens to your smoothie, choose baby greens over mature ones to prevent bitterness. Baby spinach, for example, is less bitter than regular spinach.
Adjust the sweetness: If it’s too sweet for your palate, a zip of lemon or lime juice works great. Not sweet enough? Add honey, sugar, agave syrup, maple syrup, or dates. I find this mango pineapple smoothie naturally sweet enough, but palates do vary.
Make it creamier: To make your smoothie creamier, you can add banana, avocado, yogurt, or frozen yogurt.
Pineapple chunks in juice: Substitute fresh pineapple or frozen pineapple, and add a splash of fruit juice from the carton.
Fresh mango: Frozen mango would work too.
Coconut milk: I love coconut milk in this smoothie, but you can switch it for any other kind of milk including soy milk, oat milk or almond milk to make a dairy free smoothie. Whole milk is fine too, if you do consume dairy.
Optional add-ins: Feel free to include chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, frozen peaches, vanilla Greek yogurt, hemp seeds, a splash of coconut water, flax seeds, or anything else you please!
Serving Suggestions
With breakfast or brunch: This mango pineapple smoothie recipe pairs well with contrasting savory dishes, perhaps a breakfast lasagna, hash brown casserole, bacon and sheet pan eggs, or this overnight breakfast casserole.
As a sweet pick-me-up: Treat yourself to a mango pineapple smoothie with some peanut butter cookies as an afternoon pick-me-up!
For dessert: Add a scoop of ice cream or sorbet to the smoothie mixture and serve it for dessert.
How to Store a Tropical Smoothie
Store: This tropical smoothie is best served freshly made but leftovers will keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a day. Give it a good shake before serving.
Freeze: Freezing this smoothie makes it separate, plus it only takes a few minutes to make fresh, so I strongly recommend whipping it up fresh for the best flavor.
Top Tips
Add the liquids first: When making smoothies, load the liquids first and then soft ingredients, harder ingredients, and finally ice. This makes the smoothie easier to blend.
Fine-tune the consistency: If it’s too thick, add small amounts of liquid, a little at a time, blending well between each addition. Adding too much at once just means you’ll have to thicken it back up. Make your smoothie thicker by adding more frozen fruit, yogurt or ice. Frozen bananas are great for making smoothies nice and thick.
Use the right tools: My VitaMix mixer was such a great investment. I’ve had it for years and it still makes the creamiest smoothies. Also, I find these wide mouth mason jars are great for smoothies.
Pineapple Mango Smoothie FAQs
There are traditional recipes for smoothies from India, the Middle East and Mediterranean. India has a yogurt, sugar and mango-based lassi. In South Asia you can get fruit sherbet which is made with honey and yogurt. Health food stores on the West Coast of the United States started to sell smoothies in the 1930, which is when electric blenders were first introduced. By the mid-1980s, the word ‘smoothie’ began to appear in trademarks and recipes.
Take your pick from fresh or frozen mango, fresh or frozen pineapple chunks, and fresh or frozen bananas. Either way, they’ll taste just as delicious. Using frozen fruit also means you won’t have to add ice to your mango pineapple smoothie ingredients.
