Spiriteds, is the Orange Julius still a thing? Like, could I go back to 8th grade home ec and make one? Or maybe go to the mall, order one up, and then sip it on my way past Suncoast, Dunham’s Sporting Goods, and the Disney Store? If those scenarios don’t work, then how about making something similar in our own kitchens? Because, according to K-Hubs, Pineapple Mango Smoothie doesn’t taste like an Orange Julius. No, in fact, it tastes better.

While you might think he’s biased (he probably is), let me just say extended family members also enjoy this drink. As in, they go back for seconds. And they’d go back for thirds, too, except there aren’t any thirds to be sipped. Word to the wise? Double or triple this recipe to be on the safe side.

Not only does Pineapple Mango Smoothie take that home ec recipe from middle school up a notch, but it’s also easier to make than it is to find a spot in a mall parking lot. There are no two ways about it, this smoothie goes to 11.

So grab your high-speed blender, and let’s get puréeing because we cannot wait for you try this one!

Dairy-Free Pineapple Mango Smoothie is

  • Gluten-Free and dairy-Free
  • Vegan and paleo-friendly (depending on your sweetener of choice)
  • Citrusy and summery

Pineapple Mango Smoothie ingredients 

  • Ice cubes. The more you add, the more like a frozen treat this smoothie will become.
  • Almond milk. Or other milk of choice. Basically, whatever type of milk you choose, you can’t go wrong with an unsweetened vanilla flavor.
  • Vanilla. A splash will do the trick.
  • Frozen pineapple chunks. Like the ice cubes, these give a frozen treat vibe.
  • Fresh mango. The more ripened it is, the better. Not only is it sweeter, but it’s also easier to peel and cut into chunks.
  • Mandarin oranges. I like four that are on the sweeter side, however you can adjust the number to suit your palate.
  • Liquid sweetener. Agave nectar (vegan), 100% pure honey (paleo), and 100% pure maple sugar (vegan and paleo) are all possibilities. Liquid stevia (vegan and paleo) is another option.

Best practices to make Pineapple Mango Smoothie

  • Add more ice or frozen pineapple chunks to the smoothie if you’d like a frozen treat.
  • Once the ingredients are puréed, then turn the blender off. Then turn it back on to pulse a few times. This should loosen any fruit that may be stuck underneath the blades. If your high-speed blender comes with a tamper, then keep it nearby.
  • Adjust ingredients to taste. Completely obvious, but you can add more or less of any ingredient, really, to get the flavor YOU want or to simply change it up from time to time.
  • Pour into popsicle moulds and enjoy as a warm weather treat.
  • If you want to make this for the over-21s, then add a splash of rum.
