Good to know

Chef's tip

For an even fresher, creamier smoothie, freeze the banana, mango and pineapple pieces ahead of time! ❄️🍌 It gives a thicker, icier texture, without needing to add too many ice cubes that could dilute the taste. 🥭🍍

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

In individual portions for up to 1 month. The texture may change slightly after thawing. Freezing the cut fruit before blending is ideal.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Not ideal. Drink within 12 hours at most, kept in an airtight bottle in the fridge; there is a risk of oxidation and loss of vitamins.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

The fruit oxidizes quickly, degrading the texture and the vitamins. Prepare just before drinking.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable. Drink cold, ideally with ice cubes for a refreshing texture.

Variations

Replace the coconut milk with almond milk or plain yogurt for a lighter version.
Add passion fruit pulp for a tangy, very tropical note.
Leave out the honey if the fruit is very ripe, or replace it with agave syrup.

Mistakes to avoid

Using underripe fruit: the smoothie is tart and lacks sweetness. Choose a very ripe banana and a fragrant mango.
Adding too many ice cubes: they dilute the smoothie and make it watery. Two to four ice cubes are enough.
Blending too briefly: fibrous pieces remain. Blend until the texture is smooth and creamy.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make this smoothie with frozen fruit?

Yes, frozen pineapple and mango pieces make a very cold, thick smoothie. In that case, reduce or leave out the ice cubes, and let the fruit sit for a few minutes at room temperature if your blender is not very powerful.

Can I make this smoothie without honey?

Yes, the honey is optional. The banana, pineapple and mango already add plenty of sweetness. Taste before adding any: one tablespoon is enough for a sweeter smoothie.

Which blender should I use for a smoothie?

A blender or an immersion blender with a large bowl works very well. Put the soft fruit and the liquids in first, then the ice cubes, and blend until smooth with no pieces left.

What should I serve with an exotic smoothie?

It is drunk on its own at breakfast or as an afternoon snack, in a tall glass. For a more filling snack, serve it with a few rolled oats or a slice of whole-grain bread. Serve it well chilled.
