The pineapple mango protein smoothie has a creamy yet light, slushy texture with tropical coconut undertones. The pineapple adds gentle sweetness while the mango gives it a smooth, creamy body. The result is a balanced blend of fruity, coconutty, and citrusy flavors that feel both energizing and satisfying.

The shredded coconut is key for creating that tropical, creamy undertone that only coconut can provide. It gives the smoothie a subtle richness and the perfect hint of coconut flavor without overpowering the fruit.

Adding ice helps balance the sweetness of both the pineapple and the vanilla protein powder, creating an icy slushy texture when blended with frozen fruit. The combination of soy milk and coconut water keeps it creamy yet light, making it ideal for a morning refresh or a tropical protein boost after a workout with hydrating coconut water.

I tested several pineapple protein smoothie recipes while developing this perfected pineapple protein smoothie, and this one is easily my favorite. I love the combination of mango and pineapple best in this smoothie, as mango keeps the tropical vibe and flavors but adds a creamy base without using banana.

When I used only pineapple, it had a thin texture and a sweet, light apple-like flavor that didn’t feel as satisfying. Adding mango gave the smoothie more body and a naturally creamy consistency that blends beautifully with the distinct flavor and sweetness of pineapple.

Pineapple Mango Protein Smoothie Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen pineapple
• ½ cup frozen mango
• ¾ cup unsweetened soy milk
• ⅓ cup coconut water
• ½ scoop Truvani Plant Based Protein Powder, Vanilla
• 10 g collagen powder
• 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• ½ cup ice

Tips and Substitutions:

You can swap the soy milk for coconut milk if you prefer a creamier, more tropical flavor that pairs beautifully with the shredded coconut. Just note that coconut milk is not high in protein, so your smoothie won’t be as protein-rich. Using soy milk helps make this pineapple and mango smoothie higher in protein, since ¾ cup of soy milk provides about 7 grams of protein.

You can also use lemon juice instead of lime juice. Lemon gives a softer, sweeter citrus note that still brightens the smoothie but feels less zesty and tropical. Lime adds a sharper citrus edge that enhances the pineapple and mango flavors, while lemon creates a smoother, mellow balance that lets the coconut flavor stand out more.
