Tip

1- 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 fresh fruit.

2- 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!

What is a tropical smoothie?

A tropical smoothie is a thick creamy drink made with tropical fruits and flavors such as mango, banana, coconut milk, and mango-passionfruit juice. Typically, everything is blended until it has a smooth shake-like consistency. For our tropical smoothie recipe, a mixture of coconut milk, juice, soured milk, and banana is poured over puréed mango, blending the flavors and textures into each other. It is a wonderful and refreshing two-tone exotic drink that is just as pretty as it is tasty.

How to make a tropical smoothie?

Make a fresh tropical smoothie in less than 15 minutes with just a few ingredients. Blend 100 g of mango into a purée and divide into 2 tall, chilled glasses. Next, blend coconut milk, tropical juice, soured milk, and a ripe banana. Finally, put ice cubes into each glass and pour the banana mixture over the mango purée and ice cubes. Serve the exotic smoothies immediately while they are still cold.

Can you freeze tropical smoothies?

Like all smoothies, these exotic fruit smoothies freeze very well. Once you have blended the mango and the banana-coconut mix, pour the mixtures into separate airtight containers or thick freezer bags. Make sure to remove as much air as possible when sealing everything up to retain and protect the flavor and smell. It will keep fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tropical smoothie with exotic flavors

A tropic smoothie is nothing without its exotic flavors. The bright colors and flavors in this smoothie are pure sunshine in a glass. A layer of coconut milk mixed with soured milk, 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 flavor

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 flavor. The coconut milk is packed with rich tropical flavors 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 soured milk, banana, and tropical juice with mango and passion fruit that complements the flavor 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 flavors 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 taste, while the top layer combines ripe banana and mango-passionfruit juice for a well-rounded flavor. The sweet flavors of the mango and banana are balanced and complement the exotic taste palette in this smoothie wonderfully.

Add your own touch

Cannot get enough of the exotic flavors? 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 flavors to life and makes for a light and unexpected flavor experience.
