Tips from the kitchen

Cut the mango and pineapple into small chunks before freezing, not big wedges. Big pieces don't blend as smoothly and can strain a regular home blender.
Leave the banana out of the freezer bag and freeze it separately, already peeled. Frozen banana makes the whole thing thicker and creamier without adding anything extra.
Pour the apple juice in first, before the frozen fruit. Liquid on the bottom helps the blades catch and you won't end up with a stuck blender and half-blended chunks.
The bags are ready to use straight from the freezer, no thawing needed. If the smoothie comes out too thick, just add a splash more apple juice and blend for another 10 seconds.

Ways to vary it

Swap the apple juice for coconut water if you have it. It keeps the smoothie light and adds a subtle background flavor that works well with the mango.
Add a small handful of spinach to the bag before freezing. You won't taste it at all once it's blended, and it makes the color a bit more interesting for kids who are into that sort of thing.
For a thicker, more filling version, add half an avocado when blending. It won't change the flavor much but the texture gets noticeably richer.

Storage & leftovers

This smoothie is best drunk straight away. If you pour leftovers into a jar with a lid, it keeps in the fridge for about 12 hours, but give it a good shake before drinking because it separates. Freezing the blended smoothie doesn't work well, the texture goes grainy when it thaws.

What to serve with it

A slice of toast with peanut butter on the side turns this into a proper breakfast. Good alongside overnight oats too if you're making a bigger spread.
