Ingredients
  

Smoothie Base
  • 1 cup orange juice chilled, pulp-free preferred
  • 1 cup strawberries frozen
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks frozen
  • 0.5 cup mango chunks frozen or fresh
  • 1 tbsp honey or agave optional, for extra sweetness
  • 0.5 cup ice optional, use if fruit is fresh

Equipment

  • High-speed blender
  • Measuring cups
  • Glasses

Method
 

  1. Pour the orange juice into the blender canister first. This helps the blades spin freely.
  2. Add the frozen strawberries, pineapple chunks, and mango chunks on top of the liquid.
  3. Secure the lid and start the blender on the lowest speed to break up the frozen fruit.
  4. Gradually increase the speed to high and blend for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and slushy.
  5. Stop the blender and check the consistency. If too thick, add a splash more juice; if too thin, add a few ice cubes.
  6. Taste and add sweetener (honey/agave) if desired, then blend briefly to combine.
  7. Pour immediately into tall glasses and serve with a straw.

Notes

For a creamier version, substitute half the orange juice with coconut milk or vanilla yogurt.
