5-Minute Tropical Mango Pineapple Smoothie That Tastes Like

Question 1

Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Just toss in ½ cup of ice cubes to get that thick, creamy texture we love. Though fair warning—fresh mango makes it taste brighter, but you'll miss out on that frothy milkshake consistency. My lazy-day hack? Freeze fresh fruit chunks on a baking sheet before blending—best of both worlds!

Question 2

Is this smoothie dairy-free?

Accepted Answer

Almost! The Greek yogurt gives it creaminess, but you can easily ditch the dairy. Swap yogurt for silken tofu (sounds weird, tastes amazing!) or vanilla protein powder. Coconut milk is naturally lactose-free, but check the label if you're strict—some brands sneak in milk derivatives. My vegan friends swear by almond yogurt too—just add an extra splash of milk to thin it out.

Question 3

How long can I store leftovers?

Accepted Answer

Honestly? Drink it fresh if you can—it starts separating after about 2 hours in the fridge. But if you must save some (mom life, I get it!), store it in a mason jar with the lid on tight and give it a vigorous shake before drinking. The texture won't be quite as dreamy, but the tropical flavors still shine through. Pro tip: freeze leftovers in popsicle molds for a sunny afternoon treat!
