Pineapple Mango Smoothie Ingredients
Simple Version:
- Mango – while you can use store-bought frozen mango, I recommend fresh mango, especially during the peak season. The riper the mango the sweeter the smoothie will be. To choose a ripe mango make sure the it soft, similar to a ripe avocado and mostly orange or yellow in color.
- Pineapple – If you want a creamy consistency – use frozen pineapple. The fresh pineapple has a fibrous texture and once frozen that is easily broken down by your blender. And there is no need for ice. Also fresh, pineapple contains less sugar than canned pineapple that’s preserved in syrup.
- Liquid – as the liquid base you can use any plant based milk, water or coconut water. These will make the mango and pineapple smoothie less sugary, lighter and gentler on your stomach. If you want it creamier texture, use a plant based yogurt.
- Plant based yogurt (optional) – for a creamier texture. I used plain coconut yogurt.

How To Make A Pineapple Mango Smoothie
Step 1. Prepare the ingredients:
- If you’re using fresh ingredients, peel and cut into chunks.
- When making a smoothie with pineapple and mango, I like to have at least one of the fruit frozen for a thicker creamier consistency. And since the pineapple is more fibrous than mango, I’ll be using frozen pineapple. Freezing will degrade the fiber and will break it down smoothly once blended. So get it ready by peeling, coring and dicing the pineapple before bagging it up into the freezer. Or buy bagged frozen pineapple.
Step 2. Combine all the smoothie ingredients and blend until smooth:
- Throw all ingredients in the blender and blend until everything looks dissolved and smooth. If you’re making a smaller portion then use a smaller blender for smoothies and shakes rather than a regular large one.
Step 3. Serve the smoothie:
- Pour the pineapple mango smoothie into glasses. Garnish, with fresh fruit, seeds or mint leaves if you like.
Choose Smoothie Consistency
- Obviously fresh mango and pineapple is better, but using one of the ingredients – frozen will yield a thicker creamier consistency.
- If using all frozen fruits, you can expect a thicker smoothie and may need to add a tad extra liquids to help it move along in the blender.
- If your fruits are not really ripe, use a banana to sweeten up the smoothie.
Mango Pineapple Smoothie FAQs
Both mango and pineapple are low in calories yet high in nutrients particularly vitamin C, antioxidants and other helpful compounds. Pineapple also contains bromelain, a group of digestive enzymes that aid digestion, fight inflammation and boost immunity.
Approximately 36.6 grams, equivalent of 3 tablespoons of sugar.
It depends on what ingredients are used. If you’re using the simple version with fresh pineapple and mango like the recipe suggested, 15 oz of mango pineapple smoothie has approximately 344 calories.
Berries like strawberries, blueberries or blackberries will combine well with mango and pineapple in a smoothie. Add banana to sweeten if the other fruits are not really ripe. Orange or orange juice is another good combination, although it will increase the sugar amount.
It’s not recommended to mix fruit with dairy, the animal protein when combined with the acidity of fruits may cause digestive issues due to fermentation in the gastrointestinal tract.

- If your fruits are not really ripe, use a banana to sweeten up the smoothie.
