This Mango Pineapple Banana Smoothie is a simple, easy smoothie recipe that can be turned into a beverage or breakfast bowl. Combine the tropical flavors of your favorite fruits with Greek yogurt and chia seeds for a quick, filling smoothie. Top with berries, coconut, and your favorite nut butter!
Add the Greek yogurt, fruit, milk, nut butter, coconut flakes, and chia seeds to the bowl of a blender or food processor.
Process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed.
Serve in a glass as a beverage or pour into a bowl and top with your favorite garnishes to serve with a spoon.
Notes
If your fruit isn't frozen, add 1 cup of ice to your blender.
Make smoothie making easy by freezing fruit in advance. Slice into chunks and freeze on a parchment lined baking covered with plastic wrap. Freeze for a minimum of 8 hours. When frozen, remove the fruit chunks from the tray and divide them into zip lock baggies or airtight containers in 1-cup portions. Return to the freezer until you're ready to make a smoothie.
I used plain Greek yogurt, but you can use vanilla or honey-flavored Greek yogurt if preferred.
Use a yogurt with whatever fat content you prefer or works well with your unique dietary needs.
I used almond milk in this recipe. You can use your own favorite dairy or non-dairy milk.
If you don't want to or can't use nut butters, consider using a seed butter like sunflower seed butter or tahini.
To garnish your smoothie or smoothie bowl with additional nut or seed butter as demonstrated in the photos, consider melting a tablespoon or two of it in the microwave and drizzling with a spoon.
Other garnish ideas: frozen or fresh berries, granola, pumpkin seeds (pepitas), toasted nuts
