Can I Make a Smoothie Bowl?

If you prefer to eat your smoothie with a spoon, rather than drink it through a straw, make a smoothie bowl! Simply add less milk or use frozen banana to give your tropical smoothie a thicker texture. Then add your favorite toppings, including:

• Fresh fruit sliced
• Granola
• Chopped nuts like almonds, walnuts, or pecans
• Coconut flakes
• Nut butter
• Chia seeds, hemp seeds + flax seeds.

How To Make This Green Smoothie Vegan?

It’s super easy—just swap out the honey for a vegan-friendly option like vegan honey, agave, or maple syrup. If you prefer it less sweet, you can skip the sweetener altogether.

Can I Use Other Types of Milk?

Absolutely! If you’d like to switch things up with the type of plant-based milk that you use for this tropical mango smoothie recipe—–that’s totally fine! The world of plant-based milk is constantly expanding. From the classics like coconut milk, cashew milk, soy milk and almond milk, we now have delicious options like oat milk, and even potato and quinoa milk.

What Detox Benfits Does This Super Green Smoothie Have?

This Super Green Detox Smoothie is packed with detoxifying benefits! The kale+ spinach are loaded with antioxidants that help fight free radicals, while the fiber from the banana supports healthy digestion. Pineapple adds a dose of bromelain, which can help reduce inflammation, and the greens give your body a natural cleanse by aiding in detoxification. It's a delicious way to give your system a little reset!

Flavor Variations

Looking to switch up your tropical smoothie game? Here are a few flavor ideas to jazz things up -

• Berries----Throw in a handful of strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for a berrylicious blend.
• Coconut---Use coconut milk, or throw in a handful of coconut to the mix it will taste like a pina colada!
• Protein powder--- Incorporate a scoop of your favorite protein powder for an extra protein kick.
• Mint or basil--- Add some fresh mint or basil leaves for a herby spin!
• Tumeric--- For health benefits of using turmeric, ensuring that it is paired with black pepper, helps to aid in curcumin absorption. You can add ½ teaspoon of turmeric + pinch of black pepper, if desired.
