Tropical Avocado Smoothie
I love how this smoothie brings a taste of the tropics to my kitchen, all while being creamy and nourishing.
Whenever I sip on this Tropical Avocado Smoothie, I’m transported to a sun-soaked beach.
It’s one of those recipes that feels like a hug in a glass!
The creaminess from the avocado perfectly balances the sweetness of the pineapple and banana, making it not just refreshing but also super nourishing.
I often whip this up for breakfast or as a midday pick-me-up, and it never fails to brighten my day.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using frozen fruit because it makes the smoothie so cold and refreshing without needing ice. Plus, avocados offer healthy fats that keep me full longer. If you don’t have coconut water, almond milk works perfectly too, just a bit creamier!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to prep my bananas by slicing and freezing them in advance - it makes for a quick smoothie fix!
- •Sometimes I add a scoop of plant-based protein powder for an extra boost.
Recipe Variations
- •If I have some mango on hand, I’ll swap that for the pineapple for a different tropical twist.
- •You can also add a tablespoon of nut butter for added creaminess and protein.
Storage & Freezing
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake before drinking, as it might separate a bit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
