How to Make a Tropical Pineapple Mango Smoothie
A blender and a handful of ingredients — that’s all you need for the three simple steps of this easy smoothie recipe!
CHILL THE GLASSES. I like to start by chilling the smoothie glasses in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes.

BLEND, POUR, & GARNISH. Process the ingredients until smooth, and divide the smoothie between two glasses. If you feel fancy, garnish the tops with mint sprigs and serve fresh!
