If the mango you are using isn’t very sweet, feel free to add a teaspoon or two of your favorite sweetener (agave and honey go nicely with mango) to this smoothie. See my Mango Tips in the post above.

Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces (about 1-1/2 cups) cubed frozen mango
  • ½ cup canned pineapple with juice or fresh pineapple
  • ½ cup canned coconut milk (full fat)
  • ½ cup to 1 cup lite coconut milk or plain dairy-free milk beverage, as needed
  • 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut (optional, but adds to the flavor and texture)
Instructions
  1. Put the mango, pineapple with juice, coconut milk, ½ cup lite coconut milk or milk beverage, and coconut (if using) in your blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, blend in additional lite coconut milk or milk beverage as needed.
  2. Divide the smoothie between 2 glasses, and serve, or see below for the Smoothie Bowl Option.
Notes
Light Options: Replace the regular coconut milk with ⅓ to ½ cup plain dairy-free yogurt. The yogurt is a bit thicker, so you might need to add a little extra milk beverage to get the right consistency. Or you can simply use lite coconut milk or dairy-free milk beverage in place of the full-fat coconut milk for a slightly thinner blend. These options have about half the calories and just around 2 grams of fat per serving.

Banana-Mango-Pineapple Option: Reduce the mango to 1 cup and add a small-to-medium ripe banana (can be frozen for a thicker smoothie).

Smoothie Bowl Option: Add as little milk beverage as needed to make a very thick, spoonable smoothie. Divide the mixture between 2 bowls, and top with dairy-free granola, unsweetened coconut flakes, sliced bananas, pineapple wedges, mango chunks, and/or fresh blueberries.
