Main Fruit Base

Method

Prepare Fruit

1

Prepare mango

Peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the pit. Chop into roughly 1-inch pieces until you have about 1 cup of packed mango.

2

Prepare pineapple

Trim top and bottom of the pineapple, remove the skin and core, and chop enough flesh to yield 1 cup packed. Measure and set aside.

Blend the Hopper

3

Place the chopped mango and pineapple into a blender. Add 1 cup whole milk and 1 tablespoon honey (or simple syrup). If you want extra creaminess, add 1/4 cup plain yogurt. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the fruit flavors and 1/2 teaspoon lime juice if using.

4

Adjust texture

If you prefer a chilled/slushier Hopper, add 4 ice cubes. Blend on medium-high until completely smooth and homogenous, about 30–45 seconds depending on blender power. If too thick, add up to 2 tablespoons more milk and blend again; if too thin, add a few more ice cubes or 2 tablespoons extra yogurt and blend to thicken.

Finish & Serve

5

Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity: add more honey for sweetness or a few drops of lime juice to brighten. Pour the Hopper into a chilled glass.

6

Garnish

Garnish with 2 mint leaves on top. Serve immediately with a straw.
