hello friends! i hope your summers have been off to a great start & that you are staying cool. as the heat waves of summer continue to strike in niagara, give me all the frozen smoothies! this tropical smoothie features banana, pineapple, mango & coconut. the perfect pool side treat that is good for you too. one sip & you will instantly feel transported to the beach! if i'm not drinking an iced coffee, you can bet i have a fresh fruit smoothie in hand.
this recipe features naked nutrition's collagen peptide packets which are loaded with health benefits. think radiant skin, strong hair + nails, boosted joint health & more. the perfectly portioned stick packs are great for on the go as they are highy soluble & tasteless. you can even add it to your hot morning coffee (ok, iced coffee) or bedtime tea! naked nutrition also has an amazing grass-fed whey protein powder that would be a great addition to this smoothie too if you are looking for a post workout protein kick. a splash of coconut rum would be good in it too, but i'll leave that part up to you.
cheers!
