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 a pretty pink color.
