This sunshine in a glass Pineapple, Mango and Orange Smoothie is refreshing, filling, loaded with vitamins and can be ready in less than 5 minutes.
We’re having yet another cloudy and rainy day here, and I’m really in the need of some serious sunshine. I decided the best way to get it would be to create it in a drink. So after looking in the freezer and finding some frozen pineapple and mango chunks, I decided to make a Pineapple, Mango and Orange Juice Smoothie. So delicious and refreshing!
This smoothie is healthy, filling, and provides you with a good dose of vitamins. Smoothies are a great way to make use of seasonal fruit and veggies. You can use fresh or frozen fruit, just open your refrigerator or freezer and take a look at what you have. You can create so many different variations depending on what you have on hand. I actually prefer the texture of smoothies when I use frozen fruit. It makes it so thick and creamy, it feels like you are having a frozen treat! So next time you chop up a fresh pineapple, remember to put some away in the freezer, you’ll be glad you did when you search your freezer for your next smoothie ingredients. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen or fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup frozen or fresh mango chunks
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup ice cubes optional
Instructions
- In a blender, add pineapple, mango, yogurt, orange juice and 1 cup of ice cubes.
- Blend on high until all ingredients are well blended.
- Serve immediately.

May 5, 2014 at 8:08 PMDelicious. This is why I need a suitable blender.
Oh, and 17C is warm! It hasn’t even been anywhere near that over here yet. Apart from today I’ve been wearing Winter clothing. I do have a beach just down the street though!

May 5, 2014 at 10:47 PMThanks. Well, let’s keep our fingers crossed that it only gets warmer. I hope you’ll be able to enjoy the beach soon enough! Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.

May 4, 2014 at 11:57 PMThanks Patty! I only wish I could bring summer on a bit quicker with this smoothie, I’m afraid it hasn’t even started to feel like spring here 🙁
Patty Nguyen says
May 4, 2014 at 11:58 PMIt felt like summer here in CA last week! I was dripping sweat for two days straight. We were in the 90s! Luckily we’ll be back in the 70s this week. Want me to send you some of my sunshine?? 😀
Sweet and Savoury Pursuits says
May 5, 2014 at 12:02 AMOh, my goodness, I think the warmest it’s been so far here in the National Capital Area of Canada was 17C. Yes, please send me some of your sunshine!!!
Patty Nguyen says
May 5, 2014 at 12:03 AMThat’s not very warm at all! Yikes! Sending our sunshine your way right now! 🙂
