Why I love this Tropical Smoothie

There are so many good things I'd like to say about this Tropical Smoothie:

• IT'S SIMPLE.Only 4 ingredients here.
• IT'S VERSATILE.You can easily customize it to your liking.
• IT'S COLORFUL.Just look at this sun-filled glass!
• IT'S HEALTHY.Just fruits and coconut water.
• IT'S TASTY.Oh, yes! It's so tasty!

What do you put in Tropical Smoothie?

I find that the combination of bananas, frozen mangoes, and frozen pineapple works the best. But frozen papaya, guava, jackfruit, or strawberries could be added as well.

Of course, you can use fresh fruit here. I love buying frozen fruit because it’s super convenient, and some may argue that it is equally nutritious when compared to fresh fruit. I drink smoothies every day, so you can find all kinds of frozen fruit in my freezer. (I do eat a lot of fresh fruit, too).

Note: if you are using only fresh fruits in this recipe, add 1 cup of ice.

Coconut Water VS. Coconut Milk

You can use coconut water or coconut milk in this Tropical Smoothie recipe. I prefer coconut water because it makes the smoothie lighter and more refreshing. But coconut milk adds a creamy feel to the smoothie, so you may like it even more. Both coconut water and coconut milk are very healthy. I even enjoy mixing them together. Please note that I am referring to Dairy Free Coconut Milk Alternative, not the full-fat coconut milk. I absolutely LOVE thisVita Coco Coconut Milk!

How to make Tropical Smoothie

That’s the easiest part! You’ll just need to throw all of the ingredients (fresh bananas, frozen mangoes, frozen pineapple, and coconut water) in a blender and process until smooth.

Tips for the best Tropical Smoothie

• Use frozen fruit.Frozen ripe bananas especially add creaminess to the smoothie.
• Enjoy immediately.It's best to drink this soon after making it as the smoothie will melt and thin out as it sits.

Add-ins and substitutions

• Add fruit juices. Make this recipe with some orange juice, pineapple juice, or mango juice.
• Use different fruits.Change up the fruit flavors with some kiwis, berries, or other delicious tropical fruits.
• Add ice cream.Go for a really creamy texture by making this with vanilla ice cream.

How to store it

Store this fruity drink in the refrigerator for a day. It will start to melt though, so it's best to enjoy it fresh.
