Tropical Pina Colada Smoothie
I’m not a huge fan of pina colada, although I love the song. ;-) But I must admit I do love the smell of coconut so if you make this smoothie, I would suggest really getting the coconut milk and not using regular milk. It will make all the difference. This is a great breakfast smoothie with plenty of vitamins and protein to get your day started right and make you feel as if you are on vacation in some tropical paradise. I also think substituting the apple for mango is a nice twist. Comment below if you try this tropical smoothie.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pineapple
- 1 apple
- 3 Tbs coconut milk
- 1 banana
- 1 orange
Blend and serve. If you want to get fancy add a Cocktail drink Umbrella and garnish with pineapple and banana.
Banana Split Smoothie
Too lazy to eat a banana split? How about drinking a banana split? Bananas are great smoothie ingredients so why not bring the split to the smoothie? You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you wish, but it tastes great without it.
Ingredients:
- 2 bananas
- 8 oz. crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 1/4 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened strawberries (frozen or fresh)
- 2 tbs. honey
- 6 ice cubes
- 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional)
Garnish
- whipped topping
- chocolate syrup
- maraschino cherries
Preparation
Combine bananas, pineapple, milk, strawberries and honey in a blender. Blend until smooth, no lumps. Start adding ice slowly and blending until slushy. Pour into large glasses, preferably chilled then garnish with whipped topping, chocolate syrup, and maraschino cherries. The perfect banana split in a glass.
Clementine Pineapple Smoothie
My wife seems to buy a lot of clementine oranges during the winter so I thought I should add a smoothie with clementines. After all, if they are a great winter fruit we should take advantage of them during the cold months here in Virginia.
Ingredients:
- 16 clementines, segmented
- 1 cup cubed fresh pineapples
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 2 cups milk or plain yogurt
- Ice cubes
Directions:
- Supreme segment 16 clementines; set aside.
- Combine fresh clementines, pineapples, bananas, milk or yogurt and ice cubes in a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Serve with fresh clementine slices.
- Serves about 4

Grapefruit Smoothie
I personally don’t like grapefruit, but my wife loves them, so there must be others who would enjoy a grapefruit smoothie. While it is too tart for my tastes it is an ultra healthly smoothie recipe.
Smoothie Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed is perferred
- 3/4 cup of sliced pineapple
- 1/4 cup of pineapple juice (this will sweeten it up nicely)
- 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 cups ice
- Optional: feel free to add a scoop of ice cream for an even sweeter taste.
Mondo Mango Smoothie
I love a good, ripe mango and adding it to a smoothie with sherbet ice cream is delicious. Forget about the the nutrients in mango as well as the fiber, you’ll want this for the great taste. One of my favorite smoothie recipes with mango.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup orange sherbet
- 1 banana
- 2 cups mango, sliced
- 2 cups ice
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
