Smoothies, like my Zucchini Smoothie or Blue Spirulina Smoothie are a fantastic way to pack in nutrients quickly, and my Banana Mango Pineapple Smoothie is no exception.
This tropical blend is not only delicious and refreshing but also dairy-free and packed with over 17 grams of protein. With the natural sweetness of mango, banana, and pineapple, plus the creaminess of vegan yogurt and soy milk, this smoothie is perfect for a quick breakfast, a post-workout snack, or a healthy treat anytime you need a nutritious boost.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Frozen Mango: Mango adds a rich, sweet flavor and creamy texture to the smoothie. If mango isn’t available, you can substitute it with frozen peaches or apricots for a similar taste and texture.
- Frozen Banana: Bananas provide natural sweetness and help to thicken the smoothie. If you prefer, you can use fresh bananas, but frozen bananas will give a thicker, creamier consistency. Alternatively, you could use frozen avocado for a different texture and added creaminess.
- Frozen Pineapple: Pineapple contributes a tangy sweetness and a tropical twist. If you don’t have pineapple, you can use frozen papaya or a combination of frozen tropical fruits.
- Vegan Yogurt: Any type of vegan yogurt will work, whether it’s made from almond, coconut, soy, or cashew. For the best flavor, use plain or vanilla-flavored yogurt. Soy yogurt will bring the most protein.
- Soy Milk: Soy milk is an excellent source of plant-based protein. You can substitute it with other plant-based milks like almond milk, oat milk, or pea milk, though they contain less protein.
- Hemp Seeds: These are optional but provide a nice protein boost and additional nutrients. If you don’t have hemp seeds, you can use chia seeds, flaxseeds, or even a spoonful of your favorite nut butter for extra protein and healthy fats.
How to Make Banana Mango Pineapple Smoothie
This is a simple smoothie recipe.
Pour all the ingredients in the jug of a high-speed blender.
Blend on high speed until it gets smooth and adjust the texture with more frozen mango or more soy milk.
Expert Tips
- Blending: If your blender is not powerful, you can add the liquid ingredients to the blender first to help the blades move smoothly. Gradually add the frozen fruits and other ingredients.
- Consistency: Make it runnier by adding more soy milk a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Make it thicker by adding more frozen fruit or a handful of ice cubes.
- Chill Factor: Use frozen fruits straight from the freezer for an extra cold and refreshing smoothie. You can also chill your soy milk beforehand.
- Nutrient Boost: Add some spinach or kale for extra vitamins and minerals without altering the taste or texture, it will just make it green a bit. You can also add a scoop of plant-based protein powder if you want an even higher protein content.
