Tropical Mango Pineapple Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (carton, not canned)
• 1/2 cup plain dairy-free yogurt
• 1 cup frozen mango chunks
• 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
• juice of 1/2 lime

Method

1. 1

   Add coconut milk, yogurt, and lime juice to the blender and blend briefly on low to get the liquid moving.

2. 2

   With the blender still running on low, add the frozen mango and pineapple gradually — adding frozen fruit into already-moving liquid like this, rather than dumping it in all at once from a stopped blender, is what prevents the blades from jamming against a solid block of ice; a stationary blender full of hard frozen fruit can stall the motor or leave chunks unblended.

3. 3

   Increase speed to high and blend until completely smooth and thick.

4. 4

   Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
