Mango Pineapple Smoothie with Mint
Sweet and tropical, thick from the mango, juicy from the pineapple, with a cool mint lift.
Mango and pineapple are the most popular tropical smoothie duo, and it is easy to see why: mango gives body and sweetness, pineapple acidity and juice, so the drink tastes balanced without any dairy. Both fruits provide vitamin C, and mango also beta carotene. Fresh mint adds a cool top note. If the mango is really ripe, you will rarely need the agave syrup. A bright glass for breakfast in summer or as a snack after the beach.

It smells sweet at the stem and yields slightly when pressed; colour is not a reliable sign.
