Ingredients for this easy mango pineapple smoothie

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this smothie recipe at home. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed ingredient measurements.

• Mango chunks and pineapple chunks- These have to be frozen but you can either buy the ones already frozen in stores or slice and freeze your own. It is a really simple way to use up any leftover fruit you have a home that is quickly going bad.
• Greek yogurt- The greek yogurt is used to add extra creaminess and thickness to the smoothie base. If you don’t have greek yogurt feel free to use regular yogurt instead. The greek yogurt also adds a little extra protein to our smoothie to keep us satisfied.
• Mango juice- You can also use mango fruit juice concentrate.
• White grape juice- If you look in the Mcdonald’s version you’ll see that they use some sort of white grape juice so we did that too to make our base similar to the one that they have at McDonald’s.
• Xanthan gum– This will help give the right texture to our smoothie. You can omit it if you don’t have it but I highly recommend grabbing some at your local grocery store, you can even find it at Walmart or Amazon. It helps emulsify the fresh ingredients together naming the drink a lot sweeter and the best part is that this helps your drink stay colder for longer.
• Sweetener of choice- I didn’t add any extra sweetened because my fruit was pretty sweet but if you think you need extra sweetener after tasting the smoothie you can add granulated sugar, maple syrup, or even honey and blend again.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store this mango-pineapple smoothie?

If you have any leftovers, pour them into an ice cube mold and make smoothie cubes. Whenever you are ready to enjoy them again, add them to a blender with some extra mango juice or pineapple juice and blend until smooth and creamy.

Make sure to store your smoothie ice cubes in an airtight container to keep them fresh for a long time. You can keep them stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Are mango pineapple smoothies healthy?

Healthy will depend on your own description of the word. This recipe has a sweet combination of fruit juices added to the fresh fruit that can be seen as unhealthy but overall in moderation it is not bad for you since the fresh fruit is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Can I make this drink vegan?

The only thing that makes this drink not vegan-friendly is the yogurt so all you would have to do is replace that with a dairy-free option. You can use plain yogurt made out of soy milk, coconut milk, and coconut cream. or even almond milk instead.

Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen fruit?

To get that slushie texture you have to use frozen fruit in this recipe. You can always take your frensh mango and fresh pineapple, slice and freeze them to be able to use them in your smoothie later but we need the ingredients to be really cold and frozen.

Can I use different fruits in this smoothie instead of mango and pineapple?

Absolutley, it won’t be a Mcdonald’s copycat anymore but you can definitely use other fruits. Some of my favorites are:

• Dragon fruit
• Oranges
• Pears
• Lychee
• Banana

Using a mixture of these will still yield a smoothie with tropical flavors but it won’t be the mango pineapple that you are used to getting at Mcdonalds
