This Mango Pineapple Smoothie is a tropical delight that’s creamy, naturally sweet, and refreshing, with no added sugars. Perfect as a morning boost or a cooling afternoon treat.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

150 grams peeled and chopped mango
100 grams chopped pineapple
200 ml coconut water
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2-3 ice cubes
Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Procedure:

In a blender, add the mango, pineapple, and coconut water.
Blend until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker texture, add more fruit; for a thinner consistency, add more liquid.
Add chia seeds, if desired, and pulse a few times to mix.
Pour the smoothie into glasses over ice if desired. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch.

Nutritional Benefits:

Both mango and pineapple are rich in vitamins A and C, which are essential for immune health, skin, and eye health. Mango provides fiber, antioxidants, and natural sugars for quick energy, while pineapple offers bromelain, an enzyme known to aid digestion and reduce inflammation.
Chia seeds add omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein, making this smoothie a nutrient-dense option that supports hydration and promotes overall wellness. Coconut water or almond milk provides electrolytes, enhancing hydration and supporting muscle function.
