Ingredients
- 1 cup peeled, chopped fresh mango (about 150 grams)
- 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple (about 165 grams)
- 1 cup (8 fl oz / 240 ml) natural, unsweetened coconut water
- Juice of half a lime (about 1 tablespoon or 15 ml)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
- 1 cup ice cubes (about 8 fl oz / 240 ml)
Instructions
- Peel the mango and cut into chunks, aiming for about 1 cup (150 grams). Core and chop the pineapple into similar-sized pieces.
- Roll the lime on the counter to loosen juices, then cut in half and juice it using a citrus juicer or by hand. Remove seeds carefully.
- Combine mango, pineapple, coconut water, lime juice, and ice cubes in the blender jar. If your fruit is less sweet, add 1–2 teaspoons of honey or agave syrup.
- Start blending on low, then increase speed to high. Blend until smooth but still slightly thick—like a light smoothie. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more coconut water to loosen it.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more lime juice or honey/agave as needed, blending briefly after additions.
- Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a small pineapple wedge or a thin lime wheel. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use ripe mango and pineapple for best natural sweetness and smooth texture. Avoid over-blending to prevent watery consistency. Frozen fruit can be used instead of fresh, just thaw slightly before blending. For less dilution, freeze fruit chunks instead of using ice cubes. Optional sweetener can be omitted if fruit is ripe enough. Variations include adding coconut milk for creaminess, fresh ginger or cayenne for spice, or fresh herbs like mint or basil for herbal notes.
