Why This Recipe Works
- It’s sweet, tropical, fruity, and so delicious!
- A wonderful breakfast recipe that is ready in just 5 minutes.
- It’s easy – add everything to a blender and give it a whirl! Cooks of any skill level can make this recipe.
- Versatile – add your favorite fruits to make this smoothie perfectly customized to you. I’ve listed a few great additions below!
- Protein powder is optional, but not needed. I made a list of some of my favorite low sodium protein powders, but if you don’t have any on hand, feel free to skip it! This smoothie is delicious without it.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Banana
- Mango – you can use fresh or frozen for this recipe.
- Pineapple – fresh or frozen also works.
- Orange Juice – for added sweetness and flavor.
- Lemon – for a bit of extra citrus flavor, adding a little lemon juice really makes the flavors pop!
- Water & Ice – if you wanted a colder frozen blended smoothie, add ice! If you are using frozen fruits, then you can skip.
- Low Sodium Protein Powder – for this smoothie I like to use a plain, unflavored protein powder as the fruits have such a wonderful flavor on their own. I would recommend plain, unsweetened pea protein or almond protein powder – both are low in sodium and have a neutral taste.

Additions and Substitutions
- Add 1/2 cup low fat yogurt for a creamier smoothie. Make it Greek yogurt for extra protein!
- If you want more dairy, add milk instead of water.
- Or add coconut water for an extra tropical flavor.
- Make it yours! You can add or swap in any fruit you like – add 1/2 cup strawberries, watermelon, coconut chunks, papaya, or passionfruit, acai berries, or peeled oranges if you like!
How To Make This Smoothie
Step 1: Add the banana, pineapple, and mango to a high-speed blender.
Step 2: Add the ice, water, and orange juice as well.
Step 3: Squeeze in the lemon and add the protein powder, if using. Blend on low, and increase speed until all fruit/ice chunks are blended and the smoothie is a creamy consistency.
Step 4: Pour into your favorite glass, sit back, and enjoy!
Recipe FAQs
This tropical smoothie has ~10 mg sodium per serving, as it uses frozen fruits, juice, water, and a low sodium protein powder. Depending on the protein powder you use your nutritional information may vary, so make sure to calculate based on the ingredients you use in your kitchen.
Absolutely! Frozen fruit is a great option that can be less expensive than fresh fruit. Frozen fruits work great in smoothies, so I would definitely recommend checking out the freezer aisle for some. And if frozen fruit is on sale, it’s great to stock up on if you have room!
If you have any leftover smoothie, place it in an airtight container (I like to use a mason jar with a lid) or wrap your cup in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Make sure to shake or stie the smoothie well before enjoying again, as some of the fruits/liquids can settle.
