Tropical Sunset Smoothie (Print View)

Layered tropical blend of mango, passion fruit, orange, and creamy yogurt for a refreshing taste.

# 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 (from 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)

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Clean three blending containers or rinse blender thoroughly between each use.
02 - Blend mango, Greek yogurt, honey, and water until smooth and thick. Pour evenly into the bottom of two clear glasses.
03 - Blend passion fruit pulp with Greek yogurt and honey until creamy. Carefully spoon or pour over mango layer to maintain distinct separation.
04 - Blend orange juice, Greek yogurt, and honey until smooth. Gently layer over passion fruit mixture.
05 - Tilt the glass slightly and pour each layer slowly, using the back of a spoon to minimize mixing.
06 - Optionally decorate with fresh fruit slice or mint sprig. Serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like vacation in a glass, with bright mango sweetness layered against tangy passion fruit and fresh citrus.
  • The ombré effect is genuinely impressive, yet it takes just ten minutes and requires nothing fancy.
  • Greek yogurt makes it creamy and protein-packed, so it actually keeps you full between meals.
02 -
  • Cold ingredients matter enormously—if your fruit and yogurt aren't chilled, your layers will blur together no matter how carefully you pour.
  • Frozen fruit actually works better than fresh for creating thick, stable layers that don't immediately collapse into each other.
03 -
  • Chill your blender container first if you have time—it keeps everything cold and slows blending so textures stay thick and scoopable.
  • The secret to perfect ombré is patience; rushing the pouring defeats the entire purpose, so take your time and let gravity do the work.
