Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Below are some of my favorite pieces of equipment that I use when making this mango and pineapple smoothie.
- Vitamix Professional, 64 oz Blender
- Ninja High Speed Smoothie Maker, 72 oz + 2 To Go Cups
- Hamilton Beach 40 oz Blender
Storage
Smoothies are best when first made. However, you can store leftovers for later with a little trick! Fill an ice cube tray with any leftover mango pineapple smoothie mixture and freeze hard. Empty the ice cube tray of frozen smoothie cubes and store in a freezer safe bag.
Remove the frozen smoothie cubes and reblend when ready to have a fresh smoothie!
Tips for Success
- Cut the banana into ½" slices. Load the rest of the fruit in order of smallest size to largest size so the blender vortex pulls everything down.
- Don't forget to place the cover back on the blender before starting the blender!
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends! If you are buying a fast food smoothie, they often have as much sugar as an ice cream treat. Making your own lets you control the ingredients to maximize nutrition and limit sugar, making for a nutrient dense and antioxidant smoothie.
One of the benefits of drinking smoothies for breakfast is that they can provide a source of energy and protein. Research studies have found that higher protein intake makes people feel fuller and reduces food cravings later in the day.
Food Safety
- Do not use the same utensils on cooked food, that previously touched raw meat.
- Wash hands after touching raw meat.
- Don't leave food sitting out at room temperature for extended periods.
- Never leave cooking food unattended.
- Use oils with high smoking point to avoid harmful compounds.
- Always have good ventilation when using a gas stove.
