Ingredients

As I mentioned earlier, you can make this Bahama Mama tropical smoothie with only a few simple ingredients. 

Here are all the ingredients you need to make this healthy smoothie:

• 5 oz. Strawberries (fresh strawberries or frozen strawberries)
• 2 oz. Shredded Coconut
• 3 oz. Pineapple (fresh pineapple or frozen pineapple)
• ½ Banana (optional)
• ¼ cup White Chocolate Chips
• ½ cup Milk (I used coconut milk)
• 1 cup Ice

How To Make Bahama Mama Smoothie

1. Prep the smoothie. Add the milk of your choice, pineapple, strawberries, coconut, and white chocolate chips to a blender. You can use frozen fruit, but if you're using fresh fruit, wash it and chop the pineapple and strawberries so it's easier to blend.

2. Blend the ingredients. Blend all of the fruit with the milk until it's smooth and combined. Add one cup of ice to the blender for a thicker texture and blend again until smooth. 

3. Serve. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass with some shredded coconut flakes on top. I also like to add on a few extra white chocolate chips and eat the top of the smoothie with a spoon. Enjoy!

Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Use frozen fruit for an extra thick and smooth texture. 
• Skip the ice if you're using other frozen ingredients since it will water down the smoothie a little.
• Add chia seeds for some plant based protein to make the delicious smoothie even healthier.
• Try using coconut milk or almond milk for a vegan smoothie. 

How To Store A Smoothie

In the fridge: You can keep any leftover smoothie in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for about 24 hours.

In the freezer: Transfer the smoothie to an airtight container or sealed jar and freeze for up to 3 months. Let it thaw for a few minutes before drinking. You can also pour the smoothie into an ice cube tray and then reblend the smoothie with a little milk before enjoying it.
