Tropical Smoothie

Tropical Smoothie

This Tropical Smoothie helps me forget that it’s cold up here in Canada (at least where I live) we are not celebrating Thanksgiving. It has long past us by. This is nothing but another Thursday. We have lots of snow and have had it for some time now.

This is when I start to dream of tropical locations. Since our vacation holiday is far off, I wanted to over the next three days, before we pull out all the stops for Christmas, delve into some tropical flavors.

We will start off today with a tropical smoothie. If you follow us you will know Amber is a big smoothie fan and is usually the one creating these. She was off at school and I was poking around the grocery store when I came across coconut water, not milk but water, and thought that would make a great smoothie by first freezing it into ice cubes.

It is healthy for you, high in potassium and low in calories. We usually use just plain ice cubes in our smoothies but here it is bumped up. It doesn’t give a huge coconut flavor so you can add a little extract if you like.

Enjoy, close your eyes and think of sitting under a palm tree while sipping on your smoothie.
