How to Make Tropical Smoothie Paradise Point

Ingredients

1 Banana – ripe, peeled and chopped (or ½ cup plain yogurt)
½ Cup Pineapple – frozen or fresh, chopped (mango can be used instead)
½ Cup Strawberries – frozen or fresh, tops removed (raspberries optional)
½ Teaspoon Sugar – optional, or use honey/maple syrup
1 Cup Ice – adjust if using all frozen fruit
½ Cup Water – or coconut water/milk/plant-based milk

Directions

Start by peeling the banana and cutting it into chunks.
Rinse the strawberries and remove their green tops. If you are using fresh pineapple, chop it up.
If you have frozen fruit, you can add that directly into the blender.
Place the banana in the blender first, then add the strawberries and pineapple.
Pour in ½ cup of water to help everything blend smoothly.
Add 1 cup of ice and sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of sugar if you like it sweeter. If your fruit is ripe, you might not need the sugar!
Blend on low first, then turn to high for 30–45 seconds until you have a smooth texture. If it’s too thick, add a bit more water.
Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. Insert a straw and enjoy it immediately while it’s cold!

How to Serve Tropical Smoothie Paradise Point

This smoothie is best served fresh and cold. You can pour it into a tall glass for a refreshing drink or serve it in smaller cups for sharing. Add a slice of fruit or a colorful straw for a festive touch.

How to Store Tropical Smoothie Paradise Point

If you have leftovers, store the smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge. However, you should try to consume it within a day for the best flavor and texture. If it separates, simply give it a quick stir before drinking.

Tips to Make Tropical Smoothie Paradise Point
