The Origin of the Tropical Smoothie:

This Fruit Smoothie with Plant-Based Yogurt came to me on a hot summer day when I was looking for a refreshing and nutritious drink to revitalize me.

There were frozen berries left in the fridge, a ripe banana begging to be used and a small pot of coconut plant-based yogurt catching my eye.

I combined these ingredients with some plant-based milk and chia seeds, and the result was a creamy, tasty and vibrant smoothie that surprised me! That's when I came up with the idea of sharing this delicious treat with you.

Enjoy every sip to nourish your body and delight your soul!”
