The perfect breakfast or snack option that’s loaded with nutrients! I love a cold smoothie on a hot day, I always whip up a peach smoothie, strawberry banana smoothie, or this tropical version that’s full of fruit flavor. My kids absolutely love smoothies, especially as an after school snack. We’ve been experimenting with different flavor combinations, and I have to say, this tropical smoothie recipe is our new favorite! It’s full of tropical fruit with some coconut milk for a creamy texture and richer flavor. You can get all fancy with the garnishes like I did here, or simply serve it as is; either way it’s sure to be a hit!

Tips for tropical smoothies

You can use refrigerated or canned pineapple juice for this recipe – either will work just fine. I typically use canned coconut milk, which is located in the ethnic foods aisle of most grocery stores. You can also use refrigerated coconut milk, but it may not have the same thick and rich texture as the canned variety. You can freeze your banana before you add it to the blender for an even thicker smoothie.

Smoothie variations

There are so many different ways you can change up this recipe to customize it to your tastes. Liquids: Instead of pineapple juice, try coconut water, mango nectar or pineapple-orange-banana juice. Fruit: You can add other fruits to the mix such as kiwi, papaya, or even strawberries.

Are smoothies healthy?

This smoothie contains a lot of fruit, and those types of fruit contain many healthy benefits. Pineapples contain Vitamin C and manganese, mangoes contain Vitamin A and folate, and bananas are rich with fiber and potassium. While there is no added sugar in this smoothie, fruits and fruit juices naturally contain a fair amount of sugar. If you’re watching your sugar intake, you’ll want to keep your smoothies to a reasonable portion size and refrain from consuming them every day. That all being said, a smoothie is a much healthier option than a different frozen treat such as ice cream. This tropical tastes like a Hawaiian vacation. Unfortunately I’m not going to Hawaii any time soon, but at least I can pretend that I’m there with this drink!
