Substitutions and variations
If you love to swap things up a little with your smoothies, check out the suggestions below:
- Flax seeds and chia seeds are a source of healthy vegan protein and omega-3s and make a great swap for hemp seeds without altering this recipe's flavour.
- Plant milk - Swap the coconut water out with almond milk, oat milk or coconut milk instead.
- Orange - Using the freshly squeezed juice of half a small orange makes a fabulous swap for lime zest! You should slightly reduce the amount of liquid you add to the blender.
- Yogurt - For added tummy-loving goodness, blend in some vegan plain yogurt or make your own cashew yogurt.
- Oats - Add a couple of tablespoons of gluten-free rolled oats or soaked raw buckwheat groats for a gorgeously thick and satiating breakfast smoothie.
Rolled oats are not considered raw unless specified on the packaging. I like to use organic, gluten-free rolled oats instead of instant porridge oats.
Leftovers and storing
This tropical mango and pineapple smoothie is best served immediately or kept in a suitable container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
You may need to give it a stir before drinking if some of the ingredients have seperated during this time.
Freeze any leftovers to save waste and keep your smoothie mixture colourful and nutritious.
Top tips
- For a thicker, ice cold smoothie use frozen fruits. I recommend leaving frozen fruits to stand for a few minutes before blending so that they soften a little. You may need to add in more liquid when blending to help things move.
- Another great way to thicken smoothies and make them more satiating is to add two tablespoons of rolled oats or soaked raw buckwheat groats. Soak the buckwheat groats for twenty minutes. Rinse and drain well before addding them to the blender with the rest of the ingredients.

F.A.Q's
Add a couple of tablespoons of shelled hemp or flax seeds to thicken, or try rolled oats instead.
For the best-tasting mango pineapple smoothie, use the freshest ripe fruits you can find and add enough coconut water or plant-based milk to blend until creamy and smooth throughout.
Studies show that the phytochemicals in mango and bromelain in pineapple have an anti-inflamatory effect on the body.
