This tropical smoothie is made with pineapple, frozen banana, apple and coconut oil (for a healthy boost). I think you’ll love it.
You will enjoy the wonderful flavor of this tropical smoothie as you sip and imagine yourself on a tropical island. I add a tablespoon of warm liquid coconut oil for a healthy boost.
Is coconut oil good for you?
My husband, John, loves coconut, and I love the many health benefits of coconut oil: strengthening the immune system, preventing heart disease, improving digestion, and contributing to healthy skin (to name just a few!).
My daughter, Nicole, has used coconut oil with great success for moisturizing dry skin during the winter months.
But coconut oil works even better when taken internally. Smoothies are the perfect way to add a little coconut oil to your diet, and they’re super-easy to prepare.
Have you tried this super oil?
Let me show you how easy it is to make this smoothie.

Thanks for the great recipe suggestion – I love my vitamix! I’ve been using it since my now 11-year-old was a baby – and he still loves his daily smoothie!

Thanks, Suzi,
I’ve been juicing for many years, but I only got my Vitamix about a year ago. I love it.
