Ingredients are subject to availability at local stores. Unavailable items will be automatically substituted at best-effort.
Directions
- Make the Mango Puree: In a wide-mouth jar, combine 1 cup mango chunks, 1½ tablespoons lime juice, and 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey. Blend using an immersion blender until completely smooth. Set aside.
- Make the Pineapple Coconut Base: In a separate blender, combine 2½ cups coconut water, 1½ cups pineapple chunks, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon toasted coconut chips (optional), ¼–½ teaspoon salt, and 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.
- Assemble: Fill two glasses with ice. Spoon about ¼ cup of the mango puree into the bottom of each glass.
- Slowly strain the pineapple-coconut mixture over the mango base to create a beautiful layered effect—the pale golden pineapple will float on top of the vibrant orange mango puree.
- Stir before sipping and garnish with a pineapple wedge and a sprinkle of toasted coconut. Enjoy!
