All ingredients are standard stock at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger—no special trips needed even in winter, since frozen mango and pineapple work fine and are cheaper than fresh. The 10-minute claim is honest; blending takes five minutes and prep another five. Cost per serving runs about $2.50 to $3.00 depending on whether you use fresh or frozen fruit and whether avocado prices spike, making this reasonable for a quick breakfast. This is genuinely a weeknight drink: it requires a blender and attention to texture but no stovetop, and leftovers separate overnight, so plan to finish both servings the same day.
