Tropical Smoothie
"A great, healthy, fruity treat without the calories, fat, and potential dietary complications of yogurt or ice cream. Measurements are approximate."
- Ready In:
- 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
1 smoothie
ingredients
- 1 banana, peeled and frozen
- 1⁄8 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1⁄8 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1⁄4 cup coconut nectar
- 1⁄4 cup pineapple juice
directions
- Break the banana into 3-4 chunks.
- Put everything in a blender. The ideal fruit-to-liquid ratio is when the liquid just covers the fruit; increase liquid or fruit to get to this point if you need to.
- Blend on lowest speed until smooth. If things stop circulating, stop and tap the blender a few times to get the mixture loosened up and/or add a little more liquid.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am, to be honest, somewhat intimidated by the community aspect of this site. I don't really wish to be overly involved in it. (Sorry.) I'm here because RecipeZaar allows me the chance to find a wide variety of excellent recipes, not to be social. For me, this site is a valuable resource... not a community.
I say this to explain why I might not be overly wordy in my information here, or in any reviews I might choose to post. Or why I might not choose to review much at all.
However, this is a community, so a little about me to get things kicked off. I am a computer programmer living in southern Indiana. In my spare time, I spend even more time on the computer, surfing the Web or coding Web sites. I also read, although I am not as quick at it as I used to be. I tend toward fantasy and science fiction, though lately I've taken a turn into nonfiction about ancient Greek religion.
When it comes to food, I cook because I have to. However, if I have to do it, I want it to be good. That's where RecipeZaar comes in.
