With its soothing sweetness and ravishing richness, it promises an experience of a tropical paradise with every sip, making it a fantastic addition to your liquid diet.

Ingredients List
To embark on this exotic journey, gather:
– 1 ripe mango, peeled and cut into chunks
– 1 1/2 cups of chopped fresh pineapple
– 1 banana, for creaminess
– One cup of fresh coconut milk
– A generous handful of ice-cubes
– A sprinkle of chia seeds and shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
The mango and coconut, along with pineapple’s citrusy twist, create a triumphant trio of tropical taste. If fresh pineapple isn’t available, canned (in juice, not syrup) can be a decent stand-in.

1. Start by peeling and chopping your ripe mango and fresh pineapple. The juicier, the better for a truly tropical taste.

3. Time for the coconut milk! Its silky richness marries perfectly with the fruit and helps whip up that wonderful froth.
4. Now, blitz it all up until it’s spledidly smooth.
5. Pour this tantalizing treat into tall glasses over a handful of ice cubes.
6. Garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds and shredded coconut if you like a little crunch.
