Add liquids first: Pour coconut water or almond milk into the blender. This helps the blades move smoothly.

Layer the fruit: Add mango, pineapple, and banana. Keep heavier frozen fruit on top so it pushes down into the blades.

Add extras: Spoon in yogurt, squeeze in lime juice, and add honey or maple syrup if you like it sweeter. Toss in a pinch of salt.

Blend until smooth: Start on low, then increase to high. Blend 45–60 seconds, scraping down the sides if needed.

Adjust texture: For a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes or more frozen fruit. For a thinner sippable texture, add a splash more liquid.

Taste and tweak: Add more lime for brightness or a touch more sweetener if your fruit isn’t super ripe.

Serve immediately: Pour into a chilled glass. Garnish with a lime wedge or a sprinkle of toasted coconut if you’re feeling fancy.
