So, when I recently ran out of bananas but was still craving a smoothie, I discovered this recipe, which would be perfect for those of you who aren’t in love with bananas but still want a delicious, creamy smoothie. Let’s do this! This recipe requires just 6 ingredients, 1 blender, and 5 minutes – simple, just the way I like it. Instead of bananas for a creamy, sweet base, I relied on another favorite: mango! And for a gorgeous pink hue and dose of antioxidants, I added in a mixture of strawberries and raspberries. Frozen fruit makes the creamiest, dreamiest smoothies. But if yours is fresh, simply add 1-2 cups of ice to chill things down. Next up are lime for some acidity, ginger for a bit of spice, coconut milk and shredded coconut for a bit of coconut flavor, and a pinch of cayenne to bring a bit of heat (optional but recommended!). Mmm, look at that creamy goodness. All that’s left to do is enjoy as is or layer and garnish with delicious toppings! I went for my Easy 2-Ingredient Coconut Yogurt, but full-fat coconut milk works wonders as well for that sultry swirl effect. And on top, I went with more raspberries, a bit of lime, and a spoonful of coconut flakes. Yes, please. I hope you all LOVE this smoothie!
