Tropical Delight Smoothie
There is something about summer that brings with it the need to make me feel like I live near the ocean, palm trees and an abundant supply of coconuts. The truth is, I live in the foothills of Colorado – which I absolutely love – but it doesn’t bring with it the euphoria of ocean waves and coconut beverages!
This is where I use our love of smoothies to fulfill this need for all things tropical. Everyday during the hot months of Colorado, we have a smoothie for breakfast or lunch. My kids and I all enjoy the simple taste of pineapples, coconuts and bananas whipped into submission in our Ninja single serve cups!
This recipe is a favorite among the many we have logged during our adventures in smoothie making. Of course, if you aren’t a fan of some of the ingredients we have listed, then just sub with what your taste buds long for! Smoothies are amazing at tasting good no matter what combos you use to make your creation.
When making smoothies, we like to do them as healthy as possible. In doing so we use organic whenever it’s available (which is usually always), we use dairy from year round grass-fed cows, fresh or frozen fruit (never canned), non-gmo almond or coconut milks, organic chia seeds, raw and local honey, raw virgin coconut oil, raw protein powder, raw coconut water – you get the idea. We love to mix and match and come up with new creations! It’s fun to be creative!
We hope you enjoy this creation as much as we do!
