Variations
You can skip maple syrup if the sweetness from the fruits is enough for you. I freeze the pineapple, banana, and strawberries to make a super creamy smoothie. Use plain yogurt, vanilla yogurt, or Greek yogurt. You can peel the pomegranates and store the kernels in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks. Use them whenever you are ready to make this pomegranate plunge smoothie recipe. Add the following ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
1 cup frozen pineapple 1 large frozen banana 5-6 frozen strawberries 1 cup plain yogurt 1 tablespoon maple syrup ½ cup coconut water
Tip – If the frozen fruits are too hard, then thaw them for 10 minutes. Add some more coconut water if the smoothie is too thick. Check for the sweetness and add more sweetener if needed. Pour the smoothie into serving glasses and serve immediately. You can replace maple syrup with honey (not vegan). Sugar-free substitutes like stevia or monk fruit also work fine. To make this tropical smoothie recipe vegan, skip adding yogurt completely or replace dairy yogurt with any vegan yogurt. Coconut water can be replaced with orange, pineapple, cranberry, or apple juice. You can also add your favorite whey protein powder and sip the smoothie as a pre or post-workout snack. Add chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, etc, to enhance the nutritional value. Greens like spinach and kale are also a great addition. Nut butter like peanut butter, almond butter, pistachio butter, etc can also be added. You can add fresh ginger, turmeric powder, acai berry paste or powder, and beetroot powder to this recipe.
