This Pineapple, Mango and Orange Smoothie is delicious, 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 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 pineapple and mango chunks, I decided to make a Pineapple, Mango and Orange Juice Smoothie. So delicious! Now if I only had some sand and water maybe I could feel like I was on a tropical island…
I’m beginning to really enjoy smoothies, they are healthy, filling, quick to make and provide you with a good dose of vitamins. What’s really great is that 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 pineapple, remember to put some away in the freezer, you’ll be glad you did when you search your freezer for your next smoothie. Here is my recipe for Pineapple, Mango and Orange Smoothie or as I like to call it, sunshine in a glass.

So refreshing and nutritious – a great treat to bring to Fiesta Fridays!
Thanks!
Delicious. 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!
Thanks. 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.
Ohh these smoothies look good. And yes, I think we all could do with some sunshine now. Had it with the winters. :/
Thanks. I know the winter was definitely too long and cold!
That is gorgeous! Sunshine in a cup indeed. Your tea towel matches the stripey straws, that is way cute! Thanks for bringing drinkable sunshine to Fiesta Friday! Now if only I can get Patty’s sunshine and your smoothie through the phone screen… 😀
Thanks! Well Patty did send some sunshine my way yesterday and it actually worked, we are having lovely sunny day today! Finally 🙂
Your smoothie sounds so refreshing, Fida! Very tropical and summer-y! 😀
Thanks 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 🙁
It 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?? 😀
Oh, 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!!!
That’s not very warm at all! Yikes! Sending our sunshine your way right now! 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
