Tropical Smoothies
I am not typically a smoothie drinker. But when I adapted/created this recipe, I now use it all year even through the winter! It works well to add a scoop of plain or vanilla flavored protein powder too as a health drink.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup organic vanilla Greek yogurt (I use vanilla soy yogurt because of a milk allergy and it still works, just not quite as tasty)
- 1 small banana (or 2/3 of a large banana)
- 2/3 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 Tablespoon honey (raw is best of course)
- 2 Tablespoons pineapple- orange juice (plain orange juice will also work)
- 1 Tablespoon milk (again, I use soy here due to milk allergies. If using Greek yogurt, use 2 Tablespoons milk)
- 1 scoop of non-GMO protein powder (Optional)
Directions:
- Mix honey into yogurt and then pour into blender.
- Add rest of ingredients and blend together.
- Enjoy!
If you use Greek yogurt, it is much thicker than other yogurts. You may need to add a little more liquid to achieve desired consistency. (We like thicker smoothies). I have also found adding organic, unsweetened, shredded coconut on top at the end makes this perfectly tropical!
