Vegan Pineapple Banana Mango Smoothie

I recently discovered that using coconut milk in smoothies makes them taste more tropical and refreshing compared to using cow's milk or the thicker option- almond milk. Give it a try!


Vegan Pineapple Banana Mango Smoothie

Ingredients:

1 Banana (frozen is best, but not necessary)
1/2 cup frozen Mango
1/2 cup frozen Pineapple
1-1/2 cups milk of choice (add less or more to achieve desired consistency)

Blend it all up, pour into a glass and enjoy! We love smoothies and have been experimenting with different fruit combos. Sometimes it is inspiring to look at Smoothie King's menu for new varieties to try.

Now all you need is to use your imagination and pretend you're sitting on the coast of somewhere beautiful in a hammock!

Vegan Summer Smoothies

One of our favorite afternoon snacks has always been a fruit packed smoothie, especially in the Summer months. We used to use yogurt, kefir or even ice cream, but now we use plain old milk. Soy, Rice, Coconut or Almond milk that is.

Almond milk makes some seriously creamy and smooth smoothies!

Add some fortified Soy milk and you'll drink up your B 12 reqs before you can say brain freeze.

We use vanilla style almond milk because it's sweeter than rice or coconut, but depending on what we ate for breakfast, sometimes I'll add a 1/2 cup of soy for the B 12 benefits. Mostly, we just love almond milk! Give it a try... It's so NUTritious for you!

We split the loot 3 ways so it's a refreshing low calorie sweet treat for a hot Summer day.
