I have been experimenting with different flavor combinations, and I have to
say, this tropical smoothie recipe is our new favorite! It is 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 is sure to be a hit!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 1 minutes
Serves:2
Ingredients
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup canned coconut milk light is ok
1 large banana sliced. You can freeze your banana before you add it to the blender for an even thicker smoothie.

Optional Variations:
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.
Add Ins: Give your smoothie a boost of nutrition by adding spinach, kale, protein powder, flax seeds or chia seeds.
Optional garnishes: Maraschino cherries, lime slices, mint sprigs, pineapple wedges

Place the pineapple juice, coconut milk, banana, mango and pineapple in a blender; blend until completely smooth.
Pour the smoothie into 2 glasses and add optional garnishes if desired. Serve immediately.
