Ingredients
Fruits – This smoothie contains bananas, blueberries, pineapples, and mango.
You need to freeze the fruits to make a thick creamy smoothie. Buy frozen fruits in bulk from Costco or Whole Foods to save time.
Coconut Milk – The base of the smoothie is made using coconut milk. You can use dairy milk or other vegan options such as almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, etc.
Yogurt – It makes the smoothie thicker and creamier. You can skip the yogurt or use coconut yogurt or other vegan alternatives for a vegan version.
Honey – This is completely optional. If you feel the sweetness from fruits is enough, you can skip it. You can also use maple syrup or turbinado sugar as a vegan alternative.
Orange Juice helps blend the ingredients well and adds a citrusy flavor. You can replace it with coconut water, mango nectar, pineapple juice, or any other fruit juices.
Vanilla Extract – Use a good quality vanilla extract for the beautiful vanilla flavor in the smoothie.
