Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup frozen raspberries or strawberries (a mix works well)
- 1 medium banana (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 - 1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple juice
- 1 vanilla bean (seeds scraped)
- 1/2 a pineapple (cubed, optional)
- 1 kiwi (sliced, optional)
Other Ingredients
- 1/3 cup raw coconut meat (chopped, optional)
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
- 1 cup raw whole almonds
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1-2 tablespoons ground flax (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the fruits, nuts, oats, and other ingredients to have them ready for the blending process. If using optional ingredients like pineapple cubes or kiwi slices, prepare those as well by cutting into manageable pieces.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the frozen raspberries or strawberries, banana, frozen mango chunks, pineapple juice, vanilla bean seeds, and optional fruits into a high-powered blender.
- Add Dry and Nutty Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, shredded coconut, raw almonds, and ground flax (if using) into the blender with the fruits.
- Add Flavorings and Sweeteners: Pour in the coconut oil, pure maple syrup, honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, instant espresso, and salt.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high until the mixture reaches a creamy, smooth consistency, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more pineapple juice or coconut milk to reach desired texture and blend again briefly.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for a fresh and energizing tropical breakfast.
Notes
- This smoothie is heavy on tropical flavors, making it perfect for summer mornings or whenever you want a bright, fruity boost.
- Optional ingredients like raw coconut meat, pineapple cubes, kiwi, and ground flax add extra nutrition and texture but can be omitted or substituted.
- Use frozen fruits for a thicker, colder smoothie and fresh ones for a lighter texture.
- Adjust sweetness by reducing or increasing honey and maple syrup as per taste preferences.
- If you want a vegan version, replace honey with an additional tablespoon of maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Blending nuts and oats well is key to a smooth texture; use a high-speed blender if possible.
