Tropical Smoothie Recipe

By Dr. Ben Kim on August 27, 2007

This tropical smoothie recipe calls for just four ingredients, all of which are foods that are indigenous to tropical regions. If you can't find coconut milk at your local grocery store, try an Asian food market. Most Asian markets now carry brands that contain only trace amounts of preservatives, if any.

Coconut milk contributes loads of healthy fatty acids, richness, and a wonderful coconut aroma to this smoothie.

Ingredients:

1 medium mango, peeled, without pit
2 ripe bananas
1 small pineapple, peeled
1 can (14 oz.) coconut milk

Directions:

Blend all ingredients in a strong blender until smooth. The quantities listed in the ingredients section produce 2 to 3 servings.

Enjoy this rich and delicious tropical smoothie!

Just a note to let you know how much I appreciate your newsletter. As a fellow health care provider (optometrist) and medical researcher, I find your distillation of the literature into lay terms to be accurate and very understandable.

I thank you and your staff for such a great website. I am former National Level Bodybuilder so I know a thing or two about health and fitness. Your site is very valuable and I do my best to pass it on to friends and people I train. It is also a helpful resource in my career as a human service provider working with clients who need to recover from substance abuse. I believe a major part of recovery is getting your body and mind feeling healthy and strong. Thank you again! Great Website! - Michael Christopher, MSW
