Tropical smoothie drinks is something we gravitate toward in the hot months. 🥭
A smoothie is one of the easiest meals you can make. You need no cooking skills. A little imperfect chopping and peeling is about all you need.
Oh, and a little clean up skills never hurts.
And with restaurant prices going up, up, and up, you can save money making your own fresh smoothies at home.
The cost of smoothie ingredients is a fraction of the cost. You save money when you’re the smoothie maker.
There is no waiting time.
So let’s begin with… these tropical smoothie treats that are made with an easy blender that’s all you need.
I use a Magic Bullet that’s a small, easy blender. It looks like a capsule. You add your chopped ingredients and pulse.
Then you have a delicious and nutritious smoothie with no added sugar. You can let your imagination go wild.
With a Magic Bullet, it’s important to maintain a good seal. The machine comes with a rubber seal ring, but be sure when you’re cleaning that you don’t accidentally throw it out.
And when you replace, get a good, same size one… otherwise you’ll get leakage.
These are a few tropical smoothie drinks that’ll remind you of being poolside or in the tropics somewhere with blue waters:
Pina Colada Avocado – cream of coconut, pineapple. I find this drink is naturally super sweet, so I ground with a balancing avocado and greener banana. You can also add a layer of greens.
Mango Green Smoothie – a mango smoothie stands on its own. And like a pina colada, it can be sweet so balancing with a kale or spinach layer will tame down the drink.
You can also try a green mango smoothie.
