This sweet healthy Vegan Tropical Smoothie will make you feel like you are in the tropics.
My go-to breakfast is a smoothie. There aren't many days that I don't have one.
Normally I add Vega All-in-One Shake because it has protein, vitamins, minerals, omega 3s, probiotics, greens, antioxidants, and fiber. I have a hard time swallowing pills, so a smoothie with all the nutrients I need is perfect for me.
When I want something different I reach for hemp seeds, chia seeds, or nut butter. For this Vegan Tropical Smoothie recipe, I added hemp seeds.
Other tropical recipes to try are my Tropical Dehydrator Fruit Roll-Ups, my Chia Pudding with Tropical Fruit, and my Tropical Sorbet Recipe.

🧾 Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Banana: You can use fresh or frozen banana. I like to peel my bananas as soon as they ripen and place them in a freezer-safe container in the freezer. That way, I always have frozen bananas on hand.
- Mango: You can use fresh or frozen mangos.
- Pineapple: You can use fresh or frozen pineapple. I prefer frozen because they are guaranteed to be ripe and I don't have to cut a pineapple.
- Hempseeds: Adds protein. You can leave them out or use your favorite protein powder.
- Almond milk: I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk because I like to control the amount of sweetener. You could use any dairy-free milk you like.

You could, but I don't recommend it. Smoothies are best made fresh so that you get all the nutrients.
