You’ll Need:

• 1 frozen banana (for creaminess and natural sweetness)

• ½ cup frozen mango chunks (bright, sunny flavor = instant mood lift)

• ½ cup frozen pineapple chunks (because you deserve a vacation in a cup)

1. Add all ingredients to your blender in the order listed.

2. Blend until smooth, creamy, and just begging for a tiny paper umbrella.

3. Pour into your travel cup, take one sip, and pretend your commute is a beach walk.

The Cozy Vibe of Smoothies

Let’s be real. There’s something cozy about sipping a smoothie while wrapped up in your favorite blanket. It’s like a warm hug for your insides. You can enjoy it while diving into a good book or catching up on your favorite podcast.

Smoothie Variations to Try

Feeling adventurous? Here are a few fun twists you can try:
