Do you ever just want to drop everything and hop on a flight to the nearest tropical destination? Unfortunately, sometimes that just isn’t in the cards. And that’s when I reach for this Tropical Smoothie! It’s not quite the beach vacation we’re all dreaming about, but it sure tastes like one! This smoothie is loaded with frozen tropical fruit, coconut milk or pineapple juice, and Greek yogurt. It’s refreshing, creamy, and if you close your eyes while you drink it, you’re basically soaking up some sun on the beach. 😉 If you like this one, you’ll also enjoy this Mango Smoothie, this Pineapple Smoothie, and this Easy Homemade Pink Lemonade!
Ingredients Needed:
Greek Yogurt: you can use plain or vanilla yogurt. Whichever you prefer! Vanilla will add more sweetness to the smoothie. Liquid: use either coconut milk or pineapple juice—or a mix of both! Coconut milk will make a thicker, creamier smoothie. Frozen Fruit: I use a blend of banana, pineapple, and mango which creates the perfect blend of tropical flavors.
How to Make a Tropical Smoothie
This Tropical Smoothie recipe makes the perfect easy and healthy snack. It’s ready in a quick 5 minutes!
Tips and Notes
Use frozen fruit! Frozen fruit is the key to a thick, creamy smoothie. Add to the blender in the order listed. For the best texture, add the ingredients to the blender starting with the yogurt and milk, then ending with the banana, pineapple and mango. Serve right away. Smoothies are best fresh!
Tropical Smoothie Variations
While this Tropical Smoothie is great as-is, smoothies are also incredibly customizable. Make it your own!
Use another liquid. I love the flavor of both coconut milk and pineapple juice, but feel free to play around with the liquid you use. Other great tropical options would be coconut water, mango nectar, orange juice, etc. Add other fruit. The banana, pineapple, and mango combination is insanely good, but other fruit combinations work great too. Try adding or subbing in frozen strawberries, peaches, kiwi, raspberries, you name it. Boost the nutrition. Give the smoothie an extra kick of nutrition with a scoop of old fashioned oats, a sprinkle of flax or chia seeds, or a handful of raw cashews. Make it green. Feel free to toss in a handful of fresh spinach or kale to turn this into a tropical green smoothie. You won’t even taste it!
