Tropical smoothie
Instructions
Tips
It is perfectly fine to use both fresh and frozen fruit when making smoothies. We recommend using fresh mango or, if you only have frozen mango, letting it thaw before using. You add ice cubes to the mix and pour it all into chilled glasses, so you will get a delicious cold tropical smoothie even if you do not use frozen fruit.
Tips
You can store the blended beverage in a closed glass jar in the fridge for 1-2 days. But if you have any leftovers, you can freeze the rest of the smoothie and make small popsicles. Pour the fruity drink into popsicle moulds and freeze until they are solid. Additionally, you can dip the frozen smoothie popsicles in a bit of melted chocolate. It is delicious!

Tropical smoothie with exotic flavours
A tropic smoothie is nothing without its exotic flavours. The bright colours and flavours in this smoothie are pure sunshine in a glass. A layer of coconut milk mixed with yoghurt, banana, and tropical mango-passionfruit juice poured over a creamy, smooth layer of puréed mango makes this fruity drink unbelievably delicious. So much goodness chilled in a cold glass; it is the perfect breakfast or snack option. What better way to start off your morning than with a boost of tropical taste?

Coconut milk for a sweet flavour
The tropical smoothie ingredients include coconut milk, and with good reason. It is the secret ingredient that makes this smoothie insanely delicious and satisfying, adding an irresistibly sweet flavour. The coconut milk is packed with rich tropical flavours and a slightly nutty aroma. It gives these exotic smoothies an enjoyable thick creamy texture, almost like a milkshake, and kicks the coconut taste into high gear. To balance the strong coconut taste, the milk is mixed with yoghurt, banana, and tropical juice with mango and passion fruit that complements the flavour of the coconut milk wonderfully.
Taste mango and banana in tropical harmony
Some fruits just go well together, and a mix of mango and banana is the perfect example of a harmonious pairing. In general, mango is a great team player that enhances the flavours of other exotic fruits. It has a very prominent presence in this smoothie but is balanced by the mildly sweet banana. The bottom layer of the smoothie consists of ripe mango that is blended to smooth, creamy perfection, while the top layer combines ripe banana and mango-passionfruit juice for a well-rounded flavour. The sweet flavours of the mango and banana are perfectly balanced and complement the exotic taste palette in this smoothie wonderfully.
Add your own touch
Cannot get enough of the exotic flavours? Add frozen pineapple to the mango and blend both into a purée. The combination of these two tropical fruits is a match made in heaven. Pineapple has a distinct taste with a fusion of sweet and tart and a hint of citrus that pairs magnificently with the sweet mango. But really, you can combine mango with lots of different tropical fruits, and it will taste just as amazing as our tropical coconut milk smoothie. For a burst of freshness, add a small handful of fresh mint leaves to the banana-coconut mixture and blend. It brings the flavours to life and makes for a light and unexpected flavour experience.
