Tropical Smoothie Mango Monsoon Recipe
This Tropical Smoothie Mango Monsoon recipe is fruity, creamy, and refreshing. Made with frozen mango, banana, pineapple, yogurt, and orange juice, it’s the perfect copycat of the popular Tropical Smoothie Cafe drink.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups frozen mango chunks ripe, sweet, frozen for thickness
- 1 large ripe banana frozen, with brown spots for sweetness
- ½ cup pineapple chunks optional, for tang
- 1 cup plain or Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for dairy-free
- 1 cup orange juice or mango nectar for sweeter version
- ½ cup milk of choice almond, oat, coconut, or dairy milk
- 1 tbsp honey or agave optional, only if fruit isn’t sweet enough
- Pinch of salt
- Optional Add-ins:
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 tsp chia seeds or flax seeds
- 2 tbsp shredded coconut
- Handful of spinach for greens
Instructions
Start with Liquids:
- Add orange juice and milk to your blender first.
- This helps other ingredients blend smoothly.
Add Yogurt & Sweetener:
- Mix in yogurt and honey (if using).
- Yogurt adds creaminess and protein.
Add Frozen Fruit:
- Drop in frozen mango, banana, and optional pineapple.
- Cut fruit smaller if needed for easier blending.
Blend Until Creamy:
- Blend on high for 1–2 minutes, scraping sides halfway, until smooth and silky.
Adjust Texture:
- If too thick, add a splash of juice or milk.
- If too thin, blend in more frozen mango or banana.
Taste Test:
- Adjust sweetness with honey, or balance with a little lemon juice if too sweet.
Serve & Garnish:
- Pour into chilled glasses and top with coconut flakes, chia seeds, or fresh mango slices.
Notes
Always freeze mango and banana ahead for Tropical Smoothie Cafe thickness.
Pineapple adds tang but is optional.
