Healthy Tropical Fruit Smoothie

Whipping up this big tropical flavor is so easy with our Tropical Fruit Smoothie! Just a touch of coconut extract brings out a big coconut flavor! This smoothie makes getting a boost of protein in the morning easy by just adding a scoop of our favorite protein powder. I love having something easy to drink in the morning when I am busy. Between shuffling kids around, hitting the gym, going to church, and managing business, my days are nonstop. I need a fast breakfast most days, and knowing it can be delicious? That is priceless.

Should I Use Canned or Fresh Fruit for my Smoothie?

When you are making this smoothie the best choice is to use frozen fruit. This gives you the consistency of a smoothie without adding ice. It also gives you fresh healthy fruit that was packed when it was in season. If you prefer you can use fresh fruit and add ice to the blender. I do not recommend using canned fruit in a smoothie.

Tip: When produce is on sale in the summer months, buy and prepare in smoothie bags for future fast breakfasts. This is perfect for taking advantage of the short season for strawberries, mangoes, and pineapple.

Can I Use Coconut Milk Instead?

The coconut flavor in this smoothie comes from the coconut extract. You can also use coconut milk instead of using unsweetened almond milk. This will add coconut flavor. If you need more coconut flavor, consider adding in the extract with the coconut milk.

You can truly use any milk you prefer in this smoothie, but I prefer almond milk as it is so readily available and affordable. Plus, we just like the flavor for most recipe needs.
