Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (140g) frozen mango chunks (or fresh, peeled and diced)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave (optional)
  • 3/4 cup (110g) frozen pineapple chunks (or fresh/canned, drained)
  • 1/2 small banana (about 50g)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 cup (130g) frozen strawberries (or fresh, hulled and sliced)
  • 1/2 small banana (about 50g)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla, or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • Granola (optional, for topping)
  • Shredded coconut (optional, for topping)
  • Fresh berries or chopped tropical fruit (optional, for topping)
  • Chia seeds or flaxseed (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Set out your frozen fruit to slightly thaw. Peel and slice the banana. Gather all ingredients.
  2. In a blender, combine mango, Greek yogurt, orange juice, and honey (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more juice or milk if needed for consistency.
  3. Spoon the mango mixture evenly into the bottom of 2-3 jars or glasses. Smooth the tops. Place jars in the freezer while preparing the next layer.
  4. Rinse the blender. Add pineapple, 1/2 banana, coconut milk, and chia seeds (if using). Blend until thick and creamy, adding more coconut milk if needed.
  5. Carefully spoon the pineapple mixture on top of the mango layer in each jar. Smooth and freeze briefly if desired for sharper layers.
  6. Rinse the blender. Add strawberries, 1/2 banana, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a splash of milk if needed.
  7. Spoon the strawberry layer on top of the pineapple layer. Smooth the surface. For a swirled effect, gently run a straw or skewer through the layers.
  8. Top with granola, shredded coconut, fresh fruit, chia seeds, or flaxseed as desired.
  9. Serve immediately, or chill for up to 30 minutes. Enjoy cold.

Notes

For sharp, defined layers, freeze jars briefly between adding each layer. Use frozen fruit for thicker, more stable layers. Adjust sweetness to taste—sometimes fruit is sweet enough without added honey or syrup. Easily make vegan by using plant-based yogurt and agave or maple syrup. Prep fruit and blend layers ahead for quick assembly in the morning. Toppings like granola or coconut add crunch and extra flavor.
