Blend a frozen mango and pineapple smoothie using banana, lime juice, and coconut water. With no prep needed, it’s perfect for busy mornings. This tropical frozen fruit smoothie is creamy, naturally sweet, and ideal for summer breakfasts or a cool afternoon pick-me-up.
Start by pouring the water or coconut water into your blender jug. This helps the blades move more easily once the frozen fruit goes in. I use cold liquid from the fridge to keep the smoothie nicely chilled.
Next, tip in the frozen mango, pineapple, and banana. If your banana’s overly ripe, it’ll sweeten the whole thing a bit more—which isn’t a bad thing. Don’t worry about chopping the banana unless your blender struggles with bigger chunks.
Squeeze half a lime right into the jug. It brightens up the flavours and balances out the banana’s richness. I sometimes add the zest, too, for a slightly sharper citrus edge.
Secure the lid and blend on high for about 45 seconds. Depending on your blender, you might need to pulse once or twice. The goal is a silky texture with no visible bits. If it’s too thick, add a splash more liquid.
Once it’s smooth, give it a quick taste. You might want a bit more lime or a touch of honey if the fruit wasn’t quite sweet enough. I usually don’t add anything else, but it’s easy to tweak based on what you like.
