Ingredients
  • 1 cup Frozen Mango Chunks
  • 1/2 cup Frozen Pineapple Chunks
  • 1/2 cup Orange Juice
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Milk (canned, full-fat)
  • 1/2 Banana
  • 1 teaspoon Chia Seeds

Preparation

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Ensure all ingredients are measured and ready to blend. For best results, use frozen fruit to achieve a thick, smoothie-like consistency.

Blending

Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In a high-powered blender, combine the frozen mango, frozen pineapple, orange juice, coconut milk, banana, and chia seeds.

Blending Process

Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more orange juice or coconut milk until desired consistency is reached. If it's not sweet enough, add a little honey or maple syrup to taste.

Serving

Step 4: Serve Immediately
Pour the Tropical Sunrise Smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. Garnish with a pineapple wedge or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for an extra tropical touch.
