Tropical Sunset Smoothie (Print View)

Vibrant layers of mango, passion fruit, and orange with creamy yogurt create a refreshing summer delight.

# 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 between each layer preparation.
02 - Combine mango, yogurt, honey, and water in a blender and blend until smooth and thick. Pour evenly into the bottom of two clear serving glasses.
03 - Blend passion fruit pulp with yogurt and honey until creamy. Carefully spoon or pour the mixture over the mango layer to create a distinct separation.
04 - Blend orange juice, yogurt, and honey until smooth. Gently add this 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 maintain separation and achieve a true ombré effect.
06 - Decorate with fresh fruit slices or mint sprigs as desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Insights:

01 -
  • It looks impressive enough to serve at brunch without anyone knowing how simple it actually is.
  • The flavor shifts as you sip through the layers, keeping things interesting from first sip to last.
  • Ready in 10 minutes flat, with zero cooking and maximum Instagram-worthy results.
02 -
  • Temperature matters—if your blended layers are too warm they'll melt into each other faster than you can pour, so chill your blender container between batches or work quickly.
  • The back of a spoon is your secret weapon; holding it just above the previous layer and pouring onto it prevents the force of liquid from creating turbulence that destroys your careful work.
03 -
  • If a layer accidentally mixes with the one below, embrace it and call it a marble effect—it still tastes incredible and looks intentional enough that nobody will know.
  • Make the mango layer first and pour it while it's still cold straight from the blender, which buys you time before it starts to warm and weaken.
