Instructions

1

Gather All Tropical Fruits

Measure all the frozen tropical fruit directly from the freezer bags. Having everything frozen rather than fresh means you get a naturally thick and slushy texture without adding ice.

2

Add Liquids First

Pour the coconut water and coconut milk into the blender first before adding the frozen fruits and banana on top. This layering technique helps the blender process everything more smoothly.

3

Blend on High Until Smooth

Blend on high speed for 60 to 90 seconds until the smoothie is a gorgeous golden orange color and completely smooth with a thick creamy consistency.

Common mistakes

Using all fresh fruit instead of frozen which results in a thin watery smoothie that separates quickly and lacks the thick frosty texture kids love
Adding too much coconut milk which makes the smoothie overly rich and heavy instead of refreshingly light and fruity
