🥤 Ingredients
To achieve that perfect velvety texture shown in the image, gather these items:
-
1 cup frozen mango chunks
-
1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple
-
1/4 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
-
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
-
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or almond milk)
-
1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
-
Garnish: Extra rolled oats and a fresh pineapple wedge
🥣 Instructions
-
Prep the Oats: For an extra smooth consistency, pulse the dry rolled oats in your blender first until they reach a fine, flour-like texture. This ensures your smoothie isn’t “chewy.”
-
Layer the Liquids: Pour the coconut milk and Greek yogurt into the blender. Adding liquids first helps the blades move freely and prevents “air pockets.”
-
Add the Fruit: Drop in the mango and pineapple. Using frozen fruit is the secret to that thick, frost-like consistency without needing ice, which can water down the flavor.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely creamy and gold in color.
-
Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you prefer it sweeter, drizzle in your honey now and pulse again briefly.
-
Serve: Pour into a tall glass. Top with a generous sprinkle of toasted oats and a slice of pineapple for that professional aesthetic.
