You know those days when you want something nourishing but also kinda fun? That’s what inspired these jars. I threw one together before a walk last week, and by the time I made it to the park, I felt like I was sipping a smoothie on the beach. There's something about that combo of mango and pineapple that instantly lifts your mood—plus, the color alone makes you feel healthier just looking at it.

These are a great option for meal prep too. You can make a batch and store them in mason jars for up to three days in the fridge. I like using wide-mouth jars because they’re easier to clean and sip from. Toss in a reusable straw, and you’re ready to head out the door or just chill on the patio with a tropical treat in hand.

If you want to up the nutrition game, there’s plenty of room to get creative. Add chia seeds for texture, toss in some spinach for a hidden veggie boost, or swirl in a scoop of protein powder to turn this into a post-workout recovery drink. Basically, it’s a blender full of sunshine with endless possibilities.
