Tropical Sunset Smoothie (Printable)

Layered mango, passion fruit, and orange blend with creamy yogurt for a refreshing and colorful drink.

# 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 to 3 tablespoons water, as needed

→ Passion Fruit Layer

05 - 1/2 cup passion fruit pulp (about 3 to 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)

# Steps:

01 - Clean and set aside three blending containers or rinse the blender between each use.
02 - Blend mango, Greek yogurt, honey, and water until smooth and thick, then divide evenly into the bottom of two clear glasses.
03 - Blend passion fruit pulp with Greek yogurt and honey until creamy; carefully layer on top of the mango mixture to form a defined separation.
04 - Blend orange juice, Greek yogurt, and honey until smooth; gently layer over the passion fruit layer.
05 - Tilt glasses slightly and pour each layer slowly, using the back of a spoon to maintain distinct layers without mixing.
06 - Optionally embellish with fresh fruit slices or mint sprigs and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's proof that a healthy breakfast can actually look like a work of art without any fussing around.
  • Those defined layers stay put way longer than you'd expect, giving you a genuinely satisfying moment when you take that first spoonful and taste three flavors at once.
  • Ten minutes from counter to glass, which means you can make this even when you're running late.
02 -
  • Temperature matters more than you'd think—if your fruit or yogurt is warm, the layers will soften and blur together, so keep everything cold and work quickly.
  • Frozen fruit actually creates thicker, more stable layers because it takes longer to warm up and blend, which means your visual payoff lasts longer in the glass.
03 -
  • Chill your blender container if you have time—it keeps the smoothie cold and the layers more stable, especially if you're not serving immediately.
  • Passion fruit seeds are totally edible and add texture; don't strain them out unless you really prefer a silky mouthfeel over that little pop.
