Tropical Smoothies: Deliciously Easy and Healthy Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

1 ripe Banana
1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
1 cup Mango chunks (fresh or frozen)
1 cup Coconut milk
½ cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Begin by preparing your ingredients. Peel the banana and cut it into chunks. If you’re using fresh pineapple and mango, chop them into small bites for quicker blending.
In a blender, combine all your fruits: banana, pineapple, and mango. Pour in the coconut milk, and if desired, add Greek yogurt for creaminess.
Blend everything on high speed until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency. Taste and if you like it sweeter, stir in honey or agave syrup. Lastly, sprinkle in the chia seeds and give it a gentle pulse to mix them in.

Notes

For an ice-cold Tropical Smoothie, use frozen fruits; they will create a much thicker consistency and keep your drink frosty. Ensure to serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
