Load the blender with liquids first. Add coconut milk and orange juice or coconut water. Starting with liquids helps the blades catch the fruit easily.

Add the fruit. Toss in frozen mango, frozen pineapple, and banana. If using a high-powered blender, keep fruit frozen. If not, let it thaw for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly.

Brighten it up. Squeeze in the lime juice. Add a small pinch of salt to lift the flavors. If you want it sweeter, add honey or maple syrup.

Blend until smooth. Start on low to break up the fruit, then move to high. Blend for 30–60 seconds until the texture is thick and creamy.

Adjust the consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash more liquid. If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen mango or pineapple chunks, or a couple of ice cubes.

Taste and tweak. Need more zing? Add a bit more lime. Want it richer? Add a little more coconut milk. Pour into chilled glasses and serve right away.
