Tropical Sunset Smoothie (Printable)

A vibrant blend of mango, passion fruit, and orange juice with creamy yogurt creating colorful layers.

# What You'll Need:

→ Mango Layer

01 - 1 cup ripe mango, peeled and diced (fresh or frozen)
02 - 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
03 - 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
04 - 2-3 tablespoons water (as needed)

→ Passion Fruit Layer

05 - 1/2 cup passion fruit pulp (about 3–4 passion fruits)
06 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
07 - 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

→ Orange Juice Layer

08 - 3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
09 - 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
10 - 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Clean three blending containers or rinse the blender thoroughly between uses.
02 - Combine mango, plain Greek yogurt, honey, and water in a blender and process until smooth and thick. Pour evenly into the bottom of two clear glasses.
03 - Blend passion fruit pulp with plain Greek yogurt and honey until creamy. Carefully spoon or pour this mixture over the mango layer to create a defined separation.
04 - Blend freshly squeezed orange juice with plain Greek yogurt and honey until smooth. Gently layer this on top of the passion fruit mixture.
05 - Tilt the glass slightly and pour each layer slowly, using the back of a spoon to prevent mixing of layers for a true ombré appearance.
06 - Optionally garnish with a fresh fruit slice or a sprig of mint and serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It looks impossibly fancy but takes just 10 minutes and no cooking whatsoever.
  • Each spoonful tastes different, so you're getting three distinct flavor experiences in one glass.
  • It's naturally sweet, nutritious enough for breakfast, and impressive enough for guests.
02 -
  • Frozen fruit actually works better than fresh here—it makes the layers thicker and more stable, so they hold their definition longer.
  • Don't rush the pouring: this isn't a smoothie you're meant to churn together, it's a drink you're meant to experience layer by layer.
03 -
  • If passion fruits are hard to find where you live, frozen passion fruit pulp (thawed) works just as well and is often cheaper.
  • Make all three layers first in separate bowls, then layer them one by one—this gives you full control and prevents accidental mixing.
