Method
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by scooping the flesh out of the ripe avocado and adding it to your blender. Add the frozen pineapple, mango, and banana (if using).
- Add the Liquid: Pour in the coconut milk (or alternative milk of your choice).
- Blend: Start the blender on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 30-45 seconds until the smoothie is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more coconut milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Sweeten (Optional): Taste the smoothie and add honey or agave syrup if you'd like extra sweetness.
- Serve: Pour your smoothie into a glass or bowl. Garnish with fresh fruit, a mint leaf, or even a sprinkle of coconut flakes for a tropical flair.
- Enjoy: Sip or spoon your Avocolada Recipe Tropical Smoothie for a delicious and refreshing treat!
Notes
- Frozen Fruit: For a thicker smoothie, always use frozen pineapple and mango. You can even freeze the avocado to make it extra creamy.
- Sweeteners: The smoothie is naturally sweet from the fruit, but you can add a natural sweetener like maple syrup, agave, or stevia to taste.
- Vegan Option: This recipe is already vegan-friendly if you choose a plant-based milk and skip honey. Use maple syrup or agave as a sweetener.
- Make it Protein-Packed: Add a scoop of protein powder (pea protein or hemp are great options) for a post-workout boost.
- Superfood Boost: Add chia seeds, flax seeds, or a teaspoon of spirulina for extra nutrition.
- Storage: The smoothie is best enjoyed immediately, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours. For longer storage, pour leftovers into ice cube trays and freeze for a chilled treat later.
