What You Need to Make This Mango Pineapple Cooler

This recipe keeps things simple with just a handful of ingredients and tools you probably already have in your kitchen.

Tools and Equipment:

• A powerful blender
• A sharp knife
• A cutting board
• Optional: a strainer for extra smoothness
• A tall glass or pitcher

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe mango (peeled and chopped)
• 1 cup of fresh pineapple chunks (canned works too)
• 1 cup of chilled coconut water
• 1 tablespoon of lime juice (for extra zing)
• Ice cubes (adjust for your preferred chill level)
• Optional: fresh mint leaves or a pineapple slice for garnish

How to Make Your Tropical Summer Drink in Minutes

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit

Peel the mango and slice it into small pieces. If you’re using fresh pineapple, cut off the outer skin and chop it into chunks. For a shortcut, drained canned pineapple works just as well.

Step 2: Blend the Ingredients

In your blender, combine the mango, pineapple, coconut water, lime juice, and ice cubes. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you want a thicker drink, you can add a few more ice cubes.

Step 3: Strain (Optional)

For a velvety texture, pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer. This step is great for those who prefer a pulp-free drink.

Step 4: Serve and Decorate

Pour the drink into a tall glass or pitcher. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a slice of pineapple for that tropical flair. Enjoy immediately while it’s icy cold.

Creative Twists to Try

• Add Some Sparkle: Replace coconut water with sparkling water for a fizzy version.
• Boost the Sweetness: A teaspoon of honey or agave syrup can make it sweeter if desired.
• Make It a Cocktail: Add a splash of rum or tequila to turn this into a tropical party drink.

Why Mango and Pineapple Are a Perfect Pair

Mangoes bring a natural sweetness and creamy texture, while pineapples add a tangy, citrusy punch. Together, they’re a match made in tropical heaven. Plus, both fruits are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, making this drink as nourishing as it is tasty.
