Tropical Pineapple, Mango & Orange Smoothie is sweet, smooth, and creamy — plus it contains a super boost of nutrients!
Got a sweet, fruity, and tropical-tasting smoothie to enjoy as delicious breakfast or snack: Tropical Pineapple, Mango & Orange Smoothie — with a super-orange, vitamin-packed twist!
The inspiration behind this recipe came from McDonald’s Pineapple & Mango Smoothie. Judge me. I had a sample of it at the BlogHer conference I went to several years ago and have legit been thinking about it ever since.
On a long road trip recently, I decided to pull off the road a couple hours away from home and ordered a big and frosty smoothie to sip on. Ahhhh. It was just as good as I remembered!
Back at home I set out creating a copycat recipe that ended up tasting just like the Micky Dee’s version – except I added a bright orange veggie to provide a little boost of nutrients and color. Carrots! T
he result is a thick, smooth-as-silk drink that’s great for breakfast, an afternoon treat, or cool evening snack. This was so good – very tropical-island tasting!
Start by combining 1 cup frozen mango chunks, 1/2 cup frozen pineapple, and 1/2 frozen banana in your blender.
You can’t really taste the banana – it just helps amplify the tropical flavor of the smoothie.
Next add 2 chopped raw carrots for a boost of vitamins and vibrant orange color.
Now, I only recommend adding carritos if you have a blender that has a “whole juice” or “juice” setting like a Blendtec, Vitamix, or something comparable. Throwing raw carrots into a standard blender will not turn out well. The smoothie will still taste GREAT, it will just be more yellow in color instead of orange.
Next add a 6oz Pineapple Chobani Greek Yogurt.
Finally add 1/2 – 3/4 cup Orange-Mango Juice. I tend to use about 3/4 cup but use whatever works for your blender. Some need more than others to get going. And if you can’t find this particular juice, just use regular orange juice.
Pop a lid on your blender and let ‘er rip! FYI – I use the “whole juice” setting on my Blendtec.
The result is an impossibly thick and creamy smoothie. Like silk!
Pour the smoothie into glasses, and enjoy!

I just so happen to have all of these ingredients so I know what I’m making tomorrow!
This looks amazeballs! Want want want!
Okay, I think I want one of those every morning. Just seems like something that would be a great wake up drink.
I’m also dying to try McD’s new blueberry pomegranate smoothie! LOVE the orange mango one, too! Can’t wait to make this at home! Thx!
This smoothie looks absolutely delightful! Love Chobani yogurt :)
Question if you have time: How did you choose the Bendtec blender over a Vitamix? I’m looking for a new, high speed blender and can’t choose! Going to make this smoothie. Borrowing my friend’s VMix right now. : )
Shannon-
In regards to Bendtec blender over a Vitamix, I’ve never used either but Consumer Reports just rated them and Vitamix beat out Bendtec, If I’m remembering correctly. But, the top blender was a $60 Ninja!
Another option for carrots without a high speed blender is to use refrigerated (or frozen) baby food carrots. Works great in smoothies!
sometimes you just need a beverage this color in your life. it’s so summery!
This looks yummy and I always like hidden veggies in my smoothies
Seriously, McDonald’s has something like this? I might have to do an incognito night time run. I totally love mangoes.
Looks great. Can’t wait to try it. Looks very refreshing and a nice alternative to ice cream.
Of you have a wimpy blender you could always add a jar of baby food carrots.
*If* – not of
These look super refreshing and they’ll be a must make on my summer list!
