Ingredients
Method
Prepare Ingredients:
- Peel and slice the banana. If using fresh pineapple, cut it into chunks. Measure the other ingredients and have them ready.
Blend Smoothie:
- In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks, shredded coconut or coconut milk, orange juice, frozen strawberries, banana, vanilla extract, and crushed ice (if using). Add honey or agave syrup for extra sweetness, if desired.
Add Alcohol (Optional):
- For a boozy tropical twist, add the rum to the blender and blend again until smooth.
Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. Garnish with a slice of pineapple, a strawberry, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a tropical vibe. Add a straw and a little cocktail umbrella for flair.
Enjoy:
- Sip on this refreshing Bahama Mama Tropical Smoothie and feel transported to a tropical paradise!
Notes
Begin with a small amount of liquid and gradually add more as needed. This approach helps achieve a thick, creamy smoothie rather than a thin, juice-like consistency.
