Tropical Sunset Smoothie (Printable)

Layered mango, passion fruit, and orange blend with creamy yogurt for a refreshing and healthy summer 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)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Clean three blending containers or rinse the blender thoroughly between uses.
02 - Blend mango, yogurt, honey, and water until smooth and thick. Pour evenly into the bottom of two clear glasses.
03 - Blend passion fruit pulp with yogurt and honey until creamy. Carefully spoon or pour over the mango layer, creating a distinct separation.
04 - Blend orange juice, yogurt, and honey until smooth. Gently layer 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 the layers from blending together.
06 - Optionally garnish with a slice of fresh fruit or a sprig of mint and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks so stunning that people think you spent hours perfecting it, when really it takes about as long as making coffee.
  • Each sip tastes like three different fruits dancing together, but with the creamy smoothness that makes it feel indulgent rather than healthy.
  • Frozen fruit does all the work for you—no ice needed, and the layers stay gorgeously separated without any fussy tricks.
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is your secret weapon—it makes the layers thicker and way more forgiving, and they stay separate without constant vigilance.
  • The back of a spoon is not just decoration; gentle pouring down a spoon actually prevents layers from mixing, and it took me three failed attempts to learn this.
03 -
  • Chill your glasses for five minutes before pouring—cold glass means slower blending at the boundaries, which keeps layers more defined.
  • Make this in the order: mango first, then passion fruit, then orange, never jumping around, because each one needs time to settle slightly before the next one lands.
