Is This Like the McDonald's Mango Pineapple Smoothie?
McDonald's McCafé menu has a Mango Pineapple Smoothie that tastes a lot like this one - a small size runs about 200 calories. The McDonald's version gets its creaminess from added low-fat yogurt (so it does contain dairy), and this homemade version does too, unless you swap in a dairy-free yogurt and plant milk. The biggest difference is added sugar: this recipe has none, while a fast-food smoothie typically does.
Ingredients & Substitutions
All you need to make this pineapple mango smoothie are the following simple ingredients:
- Vanilla yogurt. You can use regular yogurt, Greek yogurt, or plain yogurt - or skip it entirely and add extra coconut milk for a dairy-free, yogurt-free version.
- Coconut milk. You can also use canned coconut milk, light coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, dairy milk, or coconut water.
- Fresh mango. You can also use frozen mango chunks.
- Pineapple. Use frozen pineapple or canned pineapple instead of fresh. If using canned, drain the liquid before adding it to your blender or your smoothie will be too watery.
- Lime juice. This is my secret ingredient for a fantastic tropical flavor.
- Orange juice. Use pineapple juice instead.

How To Make A Mango Pineapple Smoothie
- In a blender, add yogurt, coconut milk, mango, pineapple chunks, orange juice, lime juice, and ice cubes.
- Blend everything at high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- If the mixture is too thick, add more orange juice. If you want it thicker, add more ice cubes.
- Divide between two tall glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with small pieces of extra mango or pineapple and enjoy!
If you are using frozen mango and pineapple, omit the ice cubes unless you want a really thick smoothie.
Optional Add-Ins
- Add all-natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup if you want your smoothie a bit sweeter.
- Bulk it up with chia seeds, hemp seeds, hemp hearts, or nut butter.
- Add 1 scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder for a protein boost.
Variations
- Add some fresh ginger for an extra zing.
- Add a handful of spinach or kale.
- Make a mango pineapple banana smoothie by adding a frozen banana.
- Turn it into a smoothie bowl - use less liquid, pour into a bowl, and top with granola, coconut flakes, and extra fruit.
Storage Tips
Store in the refrigerator in a glass jar with a lid for up to one day. Give it a quick shake before you drink it. I like to keep mine in blender cups.
You can also freeze this smoothie in an ice cube tray or popsicle mold for up to 3 months. Blend the frozen cubes again with a splash of orange juice or milk when you're ready to drink it.
Jeri's Top Tips
- Use fresh fruit for the best flavor.
