Mango Pineapple Juice is a bright, tropical drink made with fresh or canned mango and pineapple. It’s sweet, refreshing, and perfect for a hot day or anytime you want a fruity boost.
I like to imagine I’m on a sunny beach while sipping this. It totally lifts my mood and makes me feel like vacation!
If you want it colder, just add some ice or blend with a little ice for a smoothie-like treat. Easy, tasty, and sure to make anyone smile!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Mango: I use ripe mango for natural sweetness and tropical flavor. If fresh mango isn’t available, frozen works well. Tip: ripe mango should give slightly to pressure. Peel and cut into chunks or substitute with peach or ripe papaya for a different twist.
Pineapple: Fresh pineapple gives a bright, tangy taste. Peel and core before blending, or use canned pineapple in juice for convenience. If fresh isn’t available, try mango or orange slices for a sweeter, less tangy flavor.
Honey/Lime Juice: Honey adds natural sweetness; lime juice enhances freshness. Use the same amount of agave or a splash of orange juice if you prefer. Lime also helps preserve flavor and adds a little tartness, balancing the sweetness.
Water or Coconut Water: This thins the juice and keeps it light. Coconut water adds a subtle tropical hint and extra nutrients. For a richer flavor, try almond milk or a splash of fruit juice for variation.
How do I blend without making a mess?
To avoid splattering, start blending at a low speed and slowly increase. Cover the blender lid securely before blending. If the mixture’s thick, add water or juice gradually to help it blend smoothly. Always leave a small opening for steam or air to escape.
- Place ingredients in the blender, filling it no more than halfway.
- Secure the lid tightly and hold it with one hand.
- Start blending on low, then increase speed gradually.
- If needed, stop and use a spatula to push down ingredients, then blend again.
