Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (peeled and cubed) fresh mango
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon (for garnish, optional) shredded coconut
- 2 leaves (for garnish, optional) mint leaves
Instructions
Peel and cube the mango, ensuring you remove as much flesh as possible from the seed.
Peel the banana and break it into a few smaller pieces for easier blending.
In a blender, combine the mango cubes, banana, frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, orange juice, honey, and ice cubes.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the texture is too thick, add more orange juice or coconut milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey, if necessary.
Pour the smoothie into two chilled glasses.
If desired, garnish each glass with a sprinkle of shredded coconut and a mint leaf.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Brazilian Shake It Up!
