Smoothies are a good way to start the day, no? Full of vitamin C, full of fruity goodness. Ever seen those huge smoothies from Jamba Juice? Sometimes they are massive, and honestly, they’re just too much. What if you just needed a shot of sunshine to help you start the day? And no, not talking about shots of liquor kids! We’re talking about shots of frozen fruit.
Quick and simple recipe for you guys today. They’re smoothies in the shape of cubes, and they’re quite good. This recipe makes quite a bit, so reduce however you see fit. You can even fill popsicle molds if you like, which we did. And if you’re all about the liquid elixer, forget the frozen method all together. This will make a couple of super dee duper jumbo servings for the smoothie slammer in your life or 6 moderately sized portions. If you go with the liquid method, blend in ice to thin it out.
Pineapple Mango Smoothie Cubes – Approximately 48
2 mangoes, peeled and chopped
1 cup crushed pineapple, with juice
2 cups fat free milk
1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger, cropped
3 tablespoons honey
1. Plop everything into a blender and process until smooth.
2. Carefully spoon liquid into three 1-ounce ice cube trays. Freeze at least 3-4 hours or overnight.

I love this idea and you had me fooled at first because I thought those were pineapple pieces in the pic.LOL
it’s a little bit rainy here, so I am into soups nowadays but this is refreshing on a hot day…
Mmm, love the tropical flavors!
perfect!!! i shud try this
great idea
I hardly ever have smoothies (i’d rather eat my calories) but they sure are a tasty treat every now and then! 
What a delicious combo – love the ginger and honey!
I sometimes like a good smoothie. It actually been a while since I’ve had some. I think I’ll go make a batch for breakfast. Neat idea to freez them into cubes. Yum!!
I have smoothies every single day for breakfast, this is a great idea for a new way to enjoy them!
Love it. I really like smoothies, but I really hate washing my blender. So I don’t make them much…
Love this idea. I’ll be digging out my ice cube trays as soon as I get home. Thanks for the post.

We also have smoothies most days for breakfast — a bit of fruit, some kefir, sometimes a bit of vanilla or cinnamon. Just perfect if you ask me — and another bonus is that we never have to worry over our daily servings of fruit!
This looks like a great idea!
Yum! I could definitely use a shot of sunshine sometimes!
I try to make a smoothie a day. This is so healthy.
That sure must be delicious! A great combo!
Cheers,

YUM! I bet the ginger is awesome in this! Sounds great in this mini-heat wave we are having. Isn’t it supposed to be fall now?
Great idea! I bought ice cube trays for broth and I have two left. I think strawberry and ginger cubes are on deck now.
Great idea! I’m always throwing a smoothie together, it’s a great way to fill up on fruit. Can’t beat these flavors!
Pineapple, ginger, and honey? That is heaven on earth…
I love starting the day with what seems like dessert!
Sounds great with ginger. I need popsicle molds!
I love this in summer!
Very clever. I’ve heard people freeze baby food purees in the ice cube trays too.
nice job….I have a kid so I do this kind of stuff all summer long….put protein powder and you have a meal.
Mango and ginger make a great combination. I wish there was room in my freezer right now.
I absolutely love this idea! I might add a scoop of protein powder to the concoction and presto… Breakfast to go! Thanks for the post.

So refreshing and delicious. What a fantastic idea.
I like the idea of starting the day with a smoothie although it usually needs to be made by someone else as it takes me a while to become functional!
Oh, I miss a good smoothie. Your blog post gives me a nice craving for a mango smoothie. Mangoes are in season here Florida and this would be a prefect recipe Thanks.
Nice idea to frozen the smoothies. The ginger and honey should go very well with mango. I would probably drink the whole batch. Nothing left to freeze. lol.

Excellent idea to make the little cubes! This would be just perfect for my daughter!
Great combo and love the little cubes!
These are adorable and such a great idea for when you just want a shot of flavor in your mouth without the full-blown smoothie. And you know what. I bet they would be good with alcohol as well. (Hee hee!!)
What a cute title and I love the tropical flavours!
These are so cute, and such a great idea!
What a Grand Idea ! It’s Lighten Up the family favorites in a big way Love your pic.
Thank You for sharing your recipes
Have a wonderful Day !
you NEVER cease to amaze me with your creativity and brilliant mind. Never. Stop hiding and get your own TV series or cookbook series already! You’ll be famous!
I NEED a blender!!!!! I love this smoothie – mango smoothies RULE!
This got to be my favorite. Just substitute the milk with yogurt and you got an Indian mango lassi!
Love the addition of the fresh ginger! But then again, you know me — total ginger addict.
Do you say ginger, mango and smoothie? I’m in so refreshing
Cheers!

What a great & refreshing idea!!
I love your yummie flavours!!
You always have the best titles! And, this is great for our humidity that never goes away!
Being gigantically pregnant right now I am super tired and smoothies are great for keeping me going (as real cooking is just more than I can handle).
Great idea on adding the milk! Do you just pop them into your mouth?
yum yum yum
Now that is a brilliant idea! I would have never dreamed this up. I love it.
