This tropical smoothie is based on the popular Island Green tropical smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe but with a few additions to make it even better.
It is deliciously thick and creamy thanks to the coconut milk, and you’ll barely notice that it’s technically a green tropical smoothie.
With a touch of added lime juice, it has even more “zing.” If you love the idea of a creamy green tropical smoothie, this one is for you! See the tropical smoothie ingredients below.

½ cup pineapple
1 cup spinach
Large handful of kale leaves
8 ounces of coconut milk
Juice from a lime

Peel and chop the banana into pieces
Add all of the ingredients to your blender and combine until smooth and creamy
Serve and enjoy!
Another smoothie that just screams “summer,” and it’s hard not to be swept away by summer vibes when you drink this!
This recipe might seem like it’s not got much liquid included, but don’t forget that the fruit brings plenty of liquid to the party, especially the orange.
It’s a great source of vitamin C thanks to the pineapple, oranges, and mango - perfect for boosting your immunity, whatever the season!
Servings: 1 smoothie
Ingredients
½ mango (peeled and chopped)
1 cup pineapple (chopped)
1 cup strawberries (hulled and chopped)
1 ½ oranges (peeled and chopped)

This is another smoothie that is super refreshing. If you can find kiwis that are really ripe and fresh, it adds an extra taste dimension.
It’s naturally sweet thanks to the strawberries and pineapple and very creamy as a result of the Greek yogurt.
It’s a totally guilt-free smoothie (despite the taste!) and highly nutritious. Kiwis are a great source of vitamin C, E and K, and potassium, and also contains powerful antioxidants.
Servings: 1 smoothie
Ingredients
1 ½ kiwi (skin removed and chopped)
1 cup strawberries (hulled and chopped)
¾ cup pineapple (chopped)
6 ounces nonfat Greek yogurt
4 ounces almond milk
Optional - 1 to 2 ice cubes
Instructions
Remove the skin from the kiwi fruits and chop them into pieces. Chop the pineapple. Hull and chop the strawberries
Add all of the ingredients to your blender and combine until smooth and creamy
If you’re using ice cubes, add these last and continue blending
Serve and enjoy!
