Tropical Smoothie Ingredients
There are only four ingredients needed to make this pink drink but I’ll suggest additional ingredients you can add depending on your needs. Scroll down for the complete recipe with ingredient measurements.
- Juice: We used a mango passion juice blend to stick with the tropical flavor. You could also try pineapple juice or orange juice.
- Yogurt: For the yogurt we chose coconut flavored Greek yogurt. Other options that would work well in this tropical smoothie include banana, vanilla, or key lime.
- Banana: The banana helps thicken the smoothie as well as add flavor and nutrition.
- Frozen Fruit: We used a frozen tropical fruit blend that includes pineapple, dragon fruit, passion fruit, and mangos. The dragon fruit gives the smoothie the pretty pink color.
Additional Add-Ins:
Here are some additional ingredients you can try adding if you want to make the smoothie more filling or want additional nutrients.
- Protein Powder: If you want to make your smoothie more filling, add a scoop or two of vanilla protein powder.
- Leafy Greens: Try adding a handful or two of leafy greens such as spinach or kale to the smoothie. They blend right in and you won’t even notice they are there.
- Chia Seeds: A scoop of chia seeds adds nutrients, omega-3 fat, antioxidents, and fiber.
- Flaxseeds: Add some ground flaxseeds for additional fiber and omega-3s.
