Ever wake up craving something that tastes like a vacation in a glass? Yeah, me too. That’s exactly how this tropical mango pineapple vegan juice was born—one morning when I desperately needed sunshine in liquid form, and my blender happened to be within arm’s reach.
This isn’t just any juice. It’s the kind that makes you close your eyes after the first sip and say, “Okay, why haven’t I been making this every day?” It’s naturally sweet, ridiculously refreshing, and packed with vitamins that’ll make you feel like you’re doing something good for your body (because you totally are). Plus, it takes literally 5 minutes to whip up. No fancy equipment. No weird ingredients. Just pure tropical vibes in this healthy tropical drink.
Whether you’re looking for a post-workout refresher, a bright breakfast drink, or something to impress brunch guests without breaking a sweat—this vegan juice recipe has your back. You can also enjoy it as a mango pineapple smoothie or a refreshing summer beverage anytime you need a boost.

Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create this liquid sunshine:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen mango chunks (frozen works great and makes it extra cold!)
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned in its own juice, drained)
- 1 medium banana (for natural sweetness and creaminess)
- 1 cup coconut water (or regular water, but coconut water adds that extra tropical touch)
- Juice of 1 lime (trust me, this is the secret ingredient)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, if you want it slushy)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, but highly recommended for garnish)
Pro swap: No mango? Try papaya or even peaches. Still delicious, just slightly different vibes.
Instructions
Ready to blend your way to paradise? Let’s do this.
Step 1: Prep your fruit. If you’re using fresh mango and pineapple, peel and chop them into chunks. TBH, I usually keep frozen mango in my freezer specifically for this recipe—it saves time and keeps the juice nice and cold.
Step 2: Toss everything into your blender. Mango, pineapple, banana, coconut water, and that squeeze of lime. Don’t skip the lime—it brightens up all those sweet flavors and makes the whole thing taste more alive.
Step 3: Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut water. Too thin? Throw in a few more frozen mango chunks or some ice.
Step 4: Taste and adjust. Want it sweeter? Add a teaspoon of maple syrup or agave. Want it tangier? Another squeeze of lime will do the trick.
Step 5: Pour into glasses, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint (seriously, it looks Instagram-worthy), and enjoy immediately. This is best served fresh when all those tropical flavors are at their peak 😋.
