Helpful Tips:
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, use frozen mango and pineapple chunks instead of fresh.
- For a dairy-free option, replace Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
- If you don’t have vanilla protein powder, substitute with plain protein powder and a splash of vanilla extract.
- To make it more nutritious, add a handful of spinach or kale. The taste will be subtly masked by the fruits.

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Remember to give it a good shake or stir before drinking.
