Instructions
Add the Fruit to the Blender
Start by adding the frozen pineapple, banana, and strawberries to your blender. These tropical fruits are the heart of this smoothie, giving it that deliciously refreshing sweetness. The frozen fruit will also help make your smoothie thick and chilled.
Pour in the Liquid
Next, add your liquid of choice. Coconut milk works beautifully for a creamy, tropical flavor, but you can substitute it with almond milk, oat milk, or any milk alternative that you prefer. For a slightly lighter smoothie, you can also use orange juice to enhance the citrus notes.
Blend Until Smooth
Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high for about 30-45 seconds, or until everything is fully combined and you reach a smooth, creamy consistency. If your smoothie seems too thick, simply add a splash more liquid and blend again until you achieve your desired texture.
Taste and Adjust
Once your smoothie is blended, give it a taste. If you want it sweeter, add a drizzle of honey, a splash of maple syrup, or a few dates. For an extra tropical kick, you can also add a little lime juice to brighten up the flavor. Blend again to mix in any additional ingredients.
Serve and Enjoy
Pour your freshly made Bahama Mama Tropical Smoothie into a glass. If you’re feeling fancy, garnish with a slice of pineapple, a sprig of mint, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut to make it look even more irresistible.
