Clean and Healthy Tropical Smoothie

A Clean and Healthy Tropical Smoothie is just what you need to feel refreshed and energized without the extra sugar- just enjoy the benefits of the fruits!

Clean and Healthy Tropical Smoothie

I made a healthy tropical smoothie for you all to enjoy today. It’s naturally sweetened, dairy-free, and delicious! This is one of my kids’ favorite smoothie combos. Any extras left in the bottom of the blender?

I call for lots of frozen fruit in the recipe. You don’t have to use it but I strongly recommend it. Getting into the habit of keeping lots of frozen fruit on hand will change your smoothie life. It makes the texture like a Jamba Juice, thick and almost ice cream like! And we all know that is never a bad thing.

And if you want to throw in a cup of frozen blueberries you’ll have a delicious purple smoothie! Less tropical but still super delicious.

How do I make a really good smoothie?

Need some more advice on smoothie making? You might like my post on Good, Better, and Best Smoothies. It gives tips on what elements make a good and good-for-you smoothie, as well as some ideas on how to add other things into a smoothie to make it the best.

What can I do with leftover smoothies?

Any leftovers are great frozen into popsicles for later! Just put them into popsicle molds and save them for another time. Plus kids find popsicles to be a lot of fun.

Can I use a different liquid?

This recipe uses vanilla almond milk, but you can also use plain or unsweetened almond milk, as well as any other kind of nut milk. Regular dairy milk also is great in a smoothie, just pick whichever meets your needs. I use almond milk because it has less sugar and some other vitamins not in cow’s milk.
