This Tropical Blue Smoothie will transport you to the seaside. The vibrant blend is not only captivating visually, but also a nourishing boost that’ll keep you cool and energized on those hot summer days. Whether you're lounging by the pool, getting ready for a workout, or simply want a healthy pick-me-up, this smoothie is the perfect companion.

Why Make This Recipe?

We all know the joy of sipping a cool, refreshing drink on a warm day, but it’s even better when that drink is packed with nutrients.

The Tropical Blue Smoothie is a perfect blend of taste and health. The tropical flavors of coconut water, banana, and pineapple not only bring a burst of sweetness but are also rich in essential vitamins and minerals.

Coconut water is known for its hydrating properties, packed with electrolytes like potassium and magnesium, making it an excellent choice for staying hydrated.

The addition of blue spirulina not only gives the smoothie its stunning color but also packs a punch of antioxidants, helping to support overall health.

Why This Recipe is Easy

We believe in making healthful eating simple, and this smoothie is no exception.

With just a handful of ingredients, many of which you might already have at home, you can whip up this tropical treat in minutes.

All it takes is a quick blend, and you’re ready to enjoy a delicious, nutrient-packed drink.

There’s no complicated prep work or special equipment required—just a blender and a few minutes of your time. 

In fact, you can even prep all the ingredients in advance and store in the freezer.  When you're ready, just add water and blend!

Why Use JOI in This Recipe?

When it comes to making this smoothie truly special, JOI is the secret ingredient. Unlike most store-bought plant milks, JOI is a clean-label product.  That means you won’t find any unnecessary gums, fillers, or artificial ingredients.  "Just One Ingredient" means nutrient-dense goodness and ingredients you an pronounce.

This not only makes JOI a healthier option but also ensures that the pure creamy flavors shine through in your smoothie.

JOI is also a sustainable choice. By opting for our concentrated, plant-based milk base, you’re reducing packaging waste and lowering your carbon footprint.

Plus, our products are shelf-stable, so you can stock up without worrying about them going bad before you get a chance to use them.  Which translates also to reduced food waste!

Substitutions and Customizations for This Recipe

One of the best things about smoothies is how easy they are to customize. Don’t have a certain ingredient on hand? No problem! Here are a few ideas for swapping out ingredients or adding your own twist:

  • Coconut Water: If you’re not a fan of coconut water, swap it out for plain water and add a little extra JOI plus a pinch of salt. 
  • Banana: If you prefer a less sweet smoothie, you can reduce the banana or replace it with avocado or frozen cauliflower for a creamy texture without the extra sweetness. Want the sweetness but don't love banana?  try medjool dates instead!
  • Pineapple: Mango or papaya can be a great alternative if you want to mix up the tropical flavors. Both will add a rich, juicy sweetness to your smoothie.
  • Blue Spirulina: If you don’t have blue spirulina on hand, you can use regular spirulina, which will turn your smoothie green instead of blue. The health benefits are similar, but the color will be different.
  • JOI: Use any JOI concentrate you have on hand - from oat to almond or hemp, cashew or creamer, all work great.

Feel free to play around with the ingredients to find your perfect blend.
