FAQ
Aloha Tropical Smoothie Recipe Substitutions and Variations
- Instead of frozen pineapple chunks, you can use fresh pineapple pieces and toss in a few ice cubes to chill it down.
- You can swap frozen mango chunks with frozen peaches or even papaya, but note that the flavor might come off a little different.
- If you dont have a ripe banana, try using a bit of avocado for a creamy texture, though its taste will be a bit altered.
- For the orange juice, you could mix in some fresh grapefruit juice or even a splash of lime juice if you dont mind a tangier kick.
- Instead of coconut water, almond milk or regular water with a drop of coconut extract works fine for that tropical hint.
Pro Tips
1. If your smoothie comes out too thick, try letting the fruits thaw a bit before blending or add just a splash more of orange juice or coconut water until it get just right
2. For an extra flavor boost, toss in a little bit of honey or even a handful of spinach to give it some extra nutrients without messing up the flavor too much
3. Make sure you pause and scrape down the sides of the blender sometimes, its really important to get every bit of fruit mixed in
4. If you ever wanna experiment, try switching out the vanilla yogurt for a plain one and add a pinch of cinnamon, it can totally change up the taste in a fun way
