Made with pineapple, mango and coconut this green smoothie will transport you to a tropical island until you are able to get there yourself.
We've come up with this super easy and delicious tropical green smoothie to brighten your mornings. And no, we haven't reinvented the wheel, and we're not trying to either. We realize there are thousands of awesome green smoothie recipes out there. We just want to add one more to your repertoire. You know, in case you get bored and need to switch it up a little.
Our favorite things about this one?
It's green, but doesn't taste like it is. Which usually helps if you're trying to get your kids to eat more veggies.
It's "tropical", and it tastes tropical. So you can make it for breakfast and pretend you're sitting on a white sandy beach somewhere far, far away, at least until you have to leave for work. Thank the toasted coconut for that.
It's really satisfying. And yummy. So it will give you a boost of energy and keep you full for a while (which means you'll probably end up eating less, and help get your body ready for that white sandy beach you were just dreaming about)

I'm not seeing what makes this smoothie green color. Is there an ingredient missing?
Vicky & Ruth says

Love smoothies without banana (I am allergic) so thanks for this. Sounds like a must for warm weather and I love the color.
Shelley @ Two Healthy Kitchens says
I love the tropical flavors here - looks so refreshing and satisfyingly delicious! And of course, I love the nutritional power of the spinach, and how it can just hide out in smoothies like this ... and you'd never know it except for the lovely green color!! Thanks for the green smoothie inspiration! Pinning for sure! And sorry about the hockey misery ... don't you just wish the fun of an exciting season could go on and on?!?!
Vicky & Ruth says
Thank you, with the harsh winter we've had we welcome some tropical flavors!
