STEP 1: Gather the ingredients
Consider adding frozen fruits for banana mama tropical smoothies. If you have fresh fruits, you can freeze them for 2 -3 hours and then use them. To add fresh fruits, wash them nicely and cut them into pieces so that it is effortless to blend them properly. Add ice if you are using fresh fruits. If you are using a banana in this smoothie, slice it as well.
STEP 2: Blend the ingredients
You don’t need to blend everything at once. First, add coconut milk. Now add chocolate syrup, pineapple, strawberries, and banana to it. If you want to add vanilla powder to the smoothie, this is the right time to add it as well. Now blend the ingredients until they form a smooth texture.
After combining them, add ice and give a nice blend. Ice will make it extra refreshing and chilled.
STEP 3: Serve
Turn off the blender and take a chilled glass. Empty the beautiful pink smoothie into a glass and top it with strawberries and shredded coconut. The delicious glass of smoothie is now ready to give you all the freshness which you’ve been longing for. You can also add chocolate chips to garnish it. Enjoy with a small spoon!
