Sweet Mango Banana Pineapple Smoothie

This dairy free smoothie is super tasty and so filling that you can whip this up in the morning within 5 minutes.  Use this smoothie as a fuel booster to endure a busy day.

Now that the weather is a lot warmer, well technically it's summer time now. You gotta try this super energy boosting smoothie.

Trust me this smoothie is perfect to sip on during a sizzling hot day and takes less than 5 minutes to prepare.

For me the best time to whip out the smoothies is when the weather is blazing hot. If you think about it, most people don't want comfort food, they something light on the tummy.

That's where smoothie get the upper hand, I have a few favourites and love adding some exotic fruit where possible like I did with this Tropical Fruit Smoothie

If smoothies aren't you thing than perhaps you might want some water that's infused with fruit like this Mint Lime Drink or maybe you're the iced tea type so this Cinnamon Orange Cold Brew Tea might be more ideal.

Reasons to make this smoothie

This smoothie will definitely serve as a good source of energy for peoople who are constantly on the go as it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare from scratch.

Also, if you're seeking a quick on-the-go type of meal replacement then I would recommend this smoothie. It's slow releasing so will make you feel full for a long time due to taking a while to breakdown.

In other words, it's great at keeping hunger pangs at bay!!

Ingredients you will need

The foundation for this smoothie is coconut milk. I like to use coconut milk because it has a more tropical feel to the overall recipe and it's dairy free/vegan too.

Coconut milk is also one of the cheaper nut milks to buy, so if you are on a budget or strapped for cash then let this be your go to.

The steps

• Add all of the ingredients to your blender
• Blitz into a smooth consistency and serve accordingly.

Freezer Prep Smoothie

Mangoes and pineapples are seasonal fruit, if you want to use fresh fruit throughout the year then I would recommend chopping up the fruit, placing on parchment paper (on a tray of course) and part freezing for 4 hours before transferring to a freezer friendly bag.

This is a method that I do all the time especially with seasonal fruit. I provided these same guidelines in my Dairy Free Banana Ice Cream recipe.

Other variations

Feel free to switch things up by including or changing around your smoothie using the following fruit/veg;

• Papaya: To make the smoothie super exotic, throw in a cup of this
• Strawberry: Add ½ a punnet of strawberries
• Orange: Add a whole orange or swap this out for mango
• Kale or Spinach: Grab a handful of curly kale or baby spinach for some green goodness.

Note and tips

• Do take advantage of the other fruit and vegetable opt in/out to make your smoothie to taste.
• Make sure the mango and pineapple you are using is sweet, you can feel it (should be soft) and smell the sweetness prior to purchasing.
• If the fruit isn't sweet then add some sweetener accordingly
• Use frozen fruit if you don't want to use fresh, more convenient and cheaper!
• To yield a thick texture freeze the fruit in advance.
• Don't forgot to freeze some of your fruit all year around to make this at your leisure.
