Let’s chat about the McDonald’s mango smoothie ingredients! Please refer to the recipe card below for exact amounts.

• Frozen mango chunks give the smoothie a sweet, fruity taste and a nice, thick consistency. You could use fresh mango, but frozen mango is more convenient.
• Frozen pineapple contributes to the tropical flavor of this smoothie and adds a bit of tartness to offset the sweetness of the smoothie.
• Yogurt adds creaminess and a healthy dose of protein. You can use low-fat yogurt like McDonald’s, but I find Greek yogurt tastes even better and is more filling.
• Unsweetened orange juice is the liquid we need to blend the smoothie. McDonald’s smoothie contains orange juice. It isn’t super noticeable but completes the fruit taste.
• Maple syrup adds the perfect touch of sweetness to round your mango pineapple smoothie. This isn’t totally necessary since mangos are pretty sweet, so feel free to skip it.
• Turmeric powder (optional): McDonald’s uses turmeric extract to give the smoothie its beautiful yellow color. Turmeric has many health benefits (such as reducing inflammation and increasing the body’s antioxidant capacity), so I added a sprinkle to my recipe.

I hope you give this McDonald’s mango smoothie a try! It makes a quick and nutritious breakfast or snack that everyone will love!

1. Combine liquids

First, add the yogurt, orange juice, maple syrup, and turmeric powder (if using) to the bottom of a high-powdered blender. Pulse to combine.

2. Add frozen fruit

Next, layer the frozen mango and pineapple chunks on top. Blend for 30 seconds to a minute until everything is completely smooth and creamy.

3. Serve smoothie

Pour the smoothie into 2 serving cups and garnish with fresh mango and pineapple if desired. Serve the yummy drink immediately and enjoy!

Here are some tips and tricks to make this the best McDonald’s pineapple mango smoothie you’ve ever had.

• Use frozen fruit: Frozen fruit is best to give the smoothie a super thick and creamy texture. Of course, you can also use fresh fruit – just note that the smoothie will have a thinner consistency.
• Ditch the ice because it will water down the smoothie and change the texture from creamy to icy. Frozen fruit keeps the smoothie thick and cold without the use of ice.
• Add the liquids first: Adding the liquids first helps to blend the ingredients more evenly and will give you a smoother and creamier smoothie.
• Adjust the consistency: If you enjoy your smoothie on the thicker side, simply add more frozen fruit. And if you prefer a thinner consistency, increase the amount of liquid.
• Use ripe fruit: Consider freezing fresh, ripe fruit instead of buying pre-frozen fruit. It will make your smoothie even more delicious and flavorful.

• Try other fruits: Add or substitute other fruits like peaches, papayas, strawberries, apples, blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries.
• Use another liquid: Swap the orange juice for mango juice, apple juice, peach juice, coconut water, coconut milk, or almond milk.
• Opt for a different sweetener: Substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar.
• Make it vegan: Prepare the recipe with vegan yogurt for a dairy-free version.
• Add healthy mix-ins: Make your McDonald’s mango smoothie more filling and nutritious by adding chia seeds, hemp seeds, oats, or flax seeds.
• Add protein powder: A scoop of protein powder or collagen powder will give the smoothie an extra protein boost. Plain or vanilla protein powder work well.
• Sneak in leafy greens: Add a handful of fresh baby spinach leaves or kale.
• Create a smoothie bowl: Slightly reduce the orange juice to create a thicker consistency. Pour the smoothie into a bowl and garnish with coconut flakes, cacao nibs, maple syrup, and fresh sliced fruit.
• Turn it into a mango pineapple milkshake by adding a few scoops of vanilla ice cream.

McDonald’s mango pineapple smoothie tastes best right after you make it. Still, just in case you’re not able to finish your smoothie, you can store it for later.

• Fridge: Store leftovers in a sealed mason jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
• Tip: Separation can happen as the smoothie sits. Simply give the smoothie a quick whizz in the blender before drinking and it will be smooth again.
• Freezer: You can also freeze the smoothie in a freezer-friendly container for up to 3 months. This is a great way to meal prep! To thaw, let the smoothie defrost in the fridge overnight. Again, stir or blend to get the right consistency.
• Smoothie ice cubes: Pour leftovers into an ice cube tray and freeze. When it’s time to drink, place the frozen smoothie cubes directly into the blender (without thawing) and you’ll have a refreshing, frosty drink in minutes.
