What is a Tropical Smoothie Made of?
Usually, a tropical smoothie consists of fruits you might find in the tropics like coconut, mango, pineapple, orange, and banana. The fruit is a combination of fresh, frozen, or in the form of juice. Yogurt is sometimes incorporated into the smoothie which can be a tropical flavor, plain, or vanilla.
Tips and Tricks for making a Tropical Smoothie:
- Using frozen fruit will instantly give your smoothie a cold and refreshing feel
- Yogurt is a great way to provide even more nutrients to this healthy smoothie
- A great addition to the fruit juice would be coconut milk or coconut water
- If the smoothie is not thick enough, you can add more yogurt, another banana, or frozen fruit
- Garnish with fun and tropical decorations like a wedge of orange or lemon, an umbrella straw and tropical stirrers
Make-Ahead and Storage:
This smoothie can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days or frozen for up to 3 months
Use your senses to tell if it is still good – Is the color still bright or has it browned? How does it smell? Does it smell fresh or sour?
