    Whiz up this easy Mango Pineapple Smoothie in no time and sit back and enjoy the tangy, sweet and delicious drink!

    Refreshing is the name of the game when it comes to summer months, and this tropical smoothie is just what you need on a hot day!

    This smoothie uses tropical fruits like frozen mango and pineapple that get blended up with orange juice for a dose of vitamin C.

    I like to use fresh mango and pineapple when they’re in season, but you can definitely use frozen fruit to make this smoothie all year long.

    To make this mango pineapple smoothie, simply combine mango, pineapple, orange juice, and yogurt in a blender and blend until smooth.

    It's a great way to use up summer fruit and a healthier way to enjoy this copycat McDonald's summer favorite!

    Looking for more refreshing drinks? You need to try this Rose Lemonade, or a glass of Strawberry Iced Tea or Berry Iced Tea.

    Other great drink recipes are Coffee Milk, Mango Lassi or Vanilla Mango Soda.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    A mango pineapple smoothie is a refreshing and healthy way to cool down on a hot summer day.

    This recipe is quick and easy to make, and it only requires a few simple ingredients.

    A great way to use up ripe mangoes and pineapples.

    If you're looking for a McDonald's copycat recipe, this is it! This mango pineapple smoothie tastes just like the popular fast-food chain's version.

    Ingredients

    The simple ingredients in this smoothie can easily be found during the summer months or in the frozen section of your grocery store. At least ONE of the fruits needs to be frozen for this recipe. If both are frozen, no ice is needed.

    • Mango Cubes - Gives the drink a tropical sweet mango flavor that powers the smoothie.
    • Pineapple Cubes - Adds additional sweetness, and texture and helps with digestion.
    • Orange Juice - Adds a sweet citrus flavor that pairs well with the tropical fruit.
    • Ice - If the pineapple and mango are already frozen, no ice is needed to make this drink.
    • Vanilla Extract - The addition of vanilla adds a layer of flavor that enhances the flavors of the fruit.
    • Sweetener - (Optional) if needed, add in a tablespoon of fine sugar, maple syrup, or honey to further sweeten.

    Instructions

    Wondering how to make this Mango Pineapple Smoothie recipe? It's easy! Just follow this step-by-step photo tutorial. Then, scroll down for the recipe card for the full ingredients list and recipe method.

    Prepare the fruit: If you have fresh mango or pineapple, peel and chop into one-inch cubes depending on which one is frozen.

    Mango, pineapple, orange juice and vanilla in a blender.

    Add to blender: Add the fruit, orange juice, and vanilla extract to the blender along with ice if used.

    Blended smoothie.

    Blend until smooth: Pulse to break down the large pieces, then blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

    Taste and serve: Taste the smoothie and add additional sweetener if necessary. Pour into glasses and serve with a straw.

    Top tips

    Choose ripe fruit. If you're making this smoothie with fresh ingredients, make sure you are choosing ripe mangoes and pineapples as underripe fruit will make the smoothie less sweet.

    If using frozen mango or pineapple, there is no need to add ice.

    For a thicker smoothie, add less orange juice. If you want a thinner consistency, add more orange juice or water.

    You can use freshly squeezed orange juice or bottled orange juice for this recipe.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve alfresco with a summer dinner that includes a fresh Green Salad with Pumpkin Seed Dressing.

    Blend it up for a party and serve with a side of French Onion Dip and chips.

    Enjoy on the go with some Carrot Oatmeal Breakfast Bars.

    Make it a smoothie bowl and top with Homemade Granola with Coconut and Chocolate.

    Variations

    Add a scoop of collagen powder for a boost of protein and nutrients.

    You can swap out the mango for another type of fruit. Try bananas, strawberries, or peaches.

    Add a handful of spinach or kale for a healthy boost smoothie.

    Try using mango juice or pineapple juice instead of orange juice.

    For a creamy pineapple mango smoothie, add ⅓ cup yogurt or milk.

    Make it a smoothie bowl by adding less liquid and topping with fresh fruit, granola, or coconut flakes.

    Storage

    This smoothie is best served immediately. However, leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours and can be blended with more ice.

    To make the recipe ahead, prepare the mango and pineapple ahead of time and store them in the freezer until ready to use. The smoothie will be thick so you may need to add more liquid when blending.
