Yesterday, I told you all about my new sun-brella, so today I thought I would share an umbrella of a different kind! One of the things I loved most about our Hawaiian holiday was all the fresh fruit, and this island-inspired smoothie is deliciously refreshing, no matter where you are.
This recipe makes enough for at least 4 servings.
Mango Pina Colada Smoothie
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 13.5 oz can coconut milk
- 2 mangoes peeled, seeded and cubed
- 1/2 ripe banana frozen
- 1 1/2 cups ice cubes
- 2-3 tablespoons sugar to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Beginning with pineapple juice, layer ingredients in blender in order. Puree until smooth. Serve in chilled glasses, and garnish with fresh mint (and a little umbrella if you want to get fancy).
Tip: When your bananas get a little too ripe, peel them and put them in the freezer. Great for just about any smoothie, they both add flavor and cut down on the need for additional sweeteners.
This looks amazing and easy. I need to try it out this weekend 🙂
…and rum too? lol. sounds good!
I kept the basic recipe kid-friendly, but a little rum certainly wouldn’t hurt!
Yes please!!
What a wonderful summer smoothie! Great way to bring a little bit of the tropics home 🙂
Thanks, Marlynn! I have a whole month of things that I “brought home” – stay tuned. 🙂
All that needs saying really is “YUM!!!” and “pinning for later.”
So, both of those things.
😉
Thank you!
YUM! I need to make more smoothies, and this one just may be the first I whip up!
