This Mango Pineapple Smoothie recipe was inspired by Maui where mangos and pineapples grow wild and free (and where we’ve been hanging out for the past week). Even the pineapples in the Maui Costco are phenomenal. You could probably eat half of one and not have that burning tongue feeling. They’re locally grown and so incredibly sweet!
We’ve been talking about taking a vacation for a loooong time. Between work, blogging, ministry, being a Mama and wife, and everything else in between,… I was starting to feel run down. I needed a vacation; we all did! The weather was beautiful all week long so we all came back nicely tanned.
Too bad it was only 6 days. It should have been more like 16 (but I’d like to think you all would miss me ;)). I hope you’ve been following along on Instagram and Facebook to see the happenings of our vacation (Did you like the whale jump video?). Thanks for being patient with me as I took forever sometimes to answer questions, I’m so sorry I was at the beach and the laptop didn’t follow me there ;). Love you all and I hope you enjoy this little bit of Maui.
Ingredients for the Mango Pineapple Smoothie:
1 cup water or almond milk (original/unsweetened)
1 small banana or 1/2 of a large one
2 clementines or 1 orange, peeled
1 medium ripe mango (2 cups), peeled

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
I made a few slight alterations- swapped the milk for plain yogurt and the orange for orange juice in approximately the same proportions as before. It turned out great!
Thank you for sharing that with us, Holly.
Hi Natasha. Sometimes smoothies get bad press because of sugar content. In my view surely this must be healthy compared to say cakes and sweets. I plan to have this smoothie daily as a breakfast. Would that be ok in your view.
Thanks

Hi Richard, I hope you love this smoothie! Unfortunately I am not able to provide diabetic specific suggestions since I’m not a licensed nutritionist. I do recommend looking through the recipe comments for what other readers have tried to substitute. I wish I could be more helpful.
What is the Flax Seed for? Is it necessary to enhance the flavor or provide fiber?
Hi Denica! You can leave it out if you prefer but yes, it adds fiber.
I didn’t have almond milk so I substituted by half milk and half plain yogourt and added a bit more water. I also substituted flax seeds with oats. It turned out amazing!!
I was strolling and came across your page. I immediately made this smoothie and it is oh so delightful. I will be making it again very soon. Thanks so much. 😋
You’re so welcome, Brenda. Good to hear that you liked this recipe!
