Ingredients
Fruits
- ¾ cup frozen strawberries, chunks or slices work best
- ¾ cup frozen pineapple chunks
Dairy & Plant-Based Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsweetened plant milk such as soy, oat, almond or coconut
Sweeteners & Flavorings
- 1 ½ tablespoon white chocolate chips
- 1 ½ tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place frozen strawberries, frozen pineapple, white chocolate chips, unsweetened shredded coconut, and unsweetened plant milk into a blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the smoothie and add maple syrup, honey, or agave to sweeten if necessary. Blend again briefly to incorporate.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add a couple more tablespoons of plant milk and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass, optionally add toppings like extra shredded coconut or white chocolate chips, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- This smoothie requires a high-powered blender like a Vitamix to achieve a creamy and velvety texture due to the inclusion of white chocolate chips and coconut.
- For the best texture and chill, use only one fruit fresh (either strawberries or pineapple) while keeping the other frozen.
- If white chocolate chips are unavailable, white chocolate powder can be used as a substitute.
- To make a boozy Bahama Mama Tropical Smoothie, add a splash of coconut rum before blending or as a topping.
