Tropical Sunset Smoothie Delight (Printable Version)

Bright layers of mango, passion fruit, and orange combine with yogurt for a refreshing, colorful beverage.

# Needed Ingredients:

→ 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)

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Clean three blending containers or rinse the blender between uses.
02 - Combine mango, yogurt, honey, and water; blend 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 to create a defined separation.
04 - Blend orange juice, yogurt, and honey until smooth. Gently layer on top of passion fruit mixture.
05 - Tilt the glass slightly and pour each layer slowly, using the back of a spoon to maintain distinct layers and achieve an ombré effect.
06 - Add a fresh fruit slice or mint sprig as garnish if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Three distinct fruit flavors in one glass, so every sip tastes slightly different and keeps you interested.
  • The layering actually works without too much fussing once you know the trick, and it's naturally pretty enough to feel like a treat.
  • Takes 10 minutes flat, and you can prep ahead by freezing the fruit if mornings are chaotic.
02 -
  • Frozen fruit is your friend—it makes layers thicker and more defined, plus the drink stays cold longer without getting watered down by melting ice.
  • The back of a spoon is not a suggestion; it's the difference between a beautiful ombré and a marbled mess. Patience here pays off.
03 -
  • The blender doesn't need to be pristine between layers if you work quickly—just a quick rinse keeps the flavors separate without wasting time.
  • Pour each layer slowly, tilting the glass slightly and using the back of a spoon as a barrier; this is the secret to ombré that actually looks intentional.
