This Tropical Smoothie is a summery and refreshing blend of mango, pineapple, kiwi, strawberry, banana, orange juice and coconut water. Quick, easy and healthy recipe that is great for breakfast, snack or even as dessert!! 

Two glasses full of tropical fruit smoothie with fruits in background

My first attempt at making this tropical smoothie was with an intention to finish little bits of fruits that were leftover. The blend of mix fruits with milk tasted good but I wanted something light and yet satiating.

After few trials, I finally found the perfect combination!! Fruits like mango, pineapple, kiwi strawberry and banana with orange juice, tad bit of yogurt and coconut water. One sip and it reminded me of Hawaii!!

If you love the flavors in this smoothie, be sure to try my Tropical Granola Parfait.

Ingredients

  • Fruits: Mango, kiwi, banana, pineapple, strawberries.
  • Coconut water: The coconut water makes this smoothie really light and refreshing and the hint of coconut flavor is delicious!
  • Orange juice: If you can, use freshly squeezed orange juice, or use a pure juice with no added sugar.
  • Yogurt: I like to add Greek yogurt for some added protein an probiotics.
  • Ice cubes: To make the drink icy cold.
  • Sweetener: The sweetener is optional and you can use sugar, honey or agave.

You can replace coconut water with milk/coconut milk if you like. You can also customize it like by adding oats to make it more filling. Or, give it a boost of omega 3 by adding chia seeds and flax seeds.

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • I prefer using ripe banana as that gives me enough sweetness to skip adding sugar/honey. 
  • You can replace coconut water with coconut milk or regular milk too (skip orange juice). 
  • Other tropical fruits like papaya can also be added to this smoothie. 
  • I've skipped adding sugar to this smoothie as the sweetness from mangoes and banana was perfect for me. You can add sweetener of choice like sugar or honey if required. 
  • This recipe makes enough for 1 large smoothie or two smaller ones. The recipe is easily halved and doubled.
  • Add a pinch of salt, it helps bring out the sweetness.

Make It Your Own

As I always say, there are no exact amount required for smoothie. Adjust the fruits and liquid to your taste and liking. If you prefer more of one fruit than other, thick vs thin, sweet or without sugar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make smoothies ahead of time?

Smoothies are best enjoyed as soon as they are made as the fruits will start to oxidize once they are blended. If you can't drink it straight away, keep it covered in the fridge and consume within 24 hours.

Can you use frozen fruits?

Yes, you can use fresh or frozen fruits for this recipe. You can add the frozen fruits straight to the blender. You won't need to add any ice if you use frozen and it will also cut down on prep time.

Can this smoothie be made vegan?

Yes! Simply omit the yogurt or substitute it with a dairy free variety. If you want to use a sweetener, use sugar, agave or maple syrup.
