Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut unsweetened or sweetened, your choice
  • 1 cup coconut milk or almond milk for a lighter version
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup optional, for extra sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes optional, for a thicker texture

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the ingredients: Gather all your frozen fruits—strawberries, pineapple, and banana. If your fruits aren’t frozen, add a few extra ice cubes to get that chilled smoothie consistency. Measure out your coconut milk, orange juice, and shredded coconut so you can blend quickly.
  • Blend the base: In a high-speed blender, add the coconut milk, orange juice, and banana first. This helps the blades move smoothly. Then add the frozen strawberries, pineapple chunks, and shredded coconut. Pour in the honey (if using) and vanilla extract for that signature Bahama Mama sweetness and aroma.
  • Blend until creamy: Start blending on low speed, then gradually move to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds, or until the smoothie looks silky, creamy, and well-combined. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut milk or orange juice and blend again. If it’s too thin, toss in a few more ice cubes or frozen fruits.
  • Taste and adjust: Give it a quick taste test. Want it sweeter? Add a drizzle of honey. Want more tang? Add a squeeze of fresh orange or pineapple juice. Blend again for a few seconds to mix it all together.
  • Serve and enjoy: Pour your Bahama Mama Smoothie into tall, chilled glasses. Garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut or a small pineapple wedge on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy that tropical island vibe right at home!
