Tropical Sunset Smoothie (Printable Version)

A refreshing layered blend of mango, passion fruit, and orange with creamy yogurt and natural sweetness.

# Ingredient List:

→ 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)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Clean three separate containers for blending or rinse the blender thoroughly between blends.
02 - Combine mango, Greek yogurt, honey, and water in the blender and process until smooth and thick. Pour evenly into the bottom of two clear glasses.
03 - Blend passion fruit pulp, Greek yogurt, and honey until creamy. Carefully layer this mixture over the mango base to create a distinct separation.
04 - Blend freshly squeezed orange juice, Greek yogurt, and honey until smooth. Gently spoon or pour over the passion fruit layer.
05 - Tilt the glasses slightly and pour each layer slowly, using the back of a spoon to minimize mixing between layers.
06 - Add a fresh fruit slice or a sprig of mint as garnish if desired. Serve immediately for optimal freshness.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The visual drama of a perfect ombré deserves to be shown off, and it tastes like you actually tried in the kitchen.
  • Each layer brings its own flavor—mango sweetness, passion fruit tang, bright orange—so every sip feels like a small surprise.
  • Ready in ten minutes flat, which means you can have something elegant for breakfast without the fuss.
02 -
  • Frozen fruit creates thicker, more stable layers than fresh, so if definition is your goal, reach for the freezer.
  • Pouring each layer slowly over the back of a spoon isn't just technique—it's the difference between a beautiful ombré and a muddy mix.
03 -
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer for five minutes before pouring; cold glass keeps layers more defined and makes the smoothie feel extra refreshing.
  • If passion fruit is hard to find or expensive, frozen passion fruit pulp from the grocery store freezer does the job beautifully without the fuss of seeding fresh ones.
