Tropical Smoothie Recipe
This Tropical Smoothie is a summery and refreshing blend of tropical fruits with orange juice and coconut water. Quick, easy and healthy recipe that is great for breakfast, snack or even as dessert!!
Ingredients
- 1 Mango peeled and chopped
- 1 kiwi peeled and chopped
- ½ banana peeled and chopped
- ½ cup pineapple pieces using frozen
- 2-3 strawberries washed and chopped
- ½ cup coconut water
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon yogurt
- pinch salt
- Ice cubes optional and as required
- Sugar/honey/sweetener of choice optional and as required
Instructions
- In a blender add the chopped fruits, followed by yogurt, orange juice, coconut water. Blend until smooth. Pour in a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- 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.
- Add oats to make it more filling. Or, give it a boost of omega 3 by adding chia seeds and flax seeds.
- This recipe makes enough for 1 large smoothie or two smaller ones. The recipe is easily halved and doubled.
- The salt really helps bring out the sweetness and little goes a long way.
