Enjoy a sweet homemade Tropical Smoothie recipe made with coconut milk for breakfast or an afternoon snack.

All you need are 4 ingredients to make this cool and refreshing smoothie recipe.

Two tall glasses filled with a homemade Tropical Smoothie made with coconut milk and fruit.

When strawberry season comes around I love making this Tropical Smoothie. Every time I have fresh strawberries I will make a smoothie for breakfast.

This recipe was originally shared in March of 2014 but has been updated with new content and photos on January 26, 2022.

Tropical Smoothie recipe ingredients

I used coconut milk for this tropical smoothie recipe. The combination of flavors from the pineapple, strawberries and coconut milk is perfect.

Tropical Smoothie ingredients in individual bowls.
  • frozen pineapple: you can use crushed, or pineapple chunks
  • coconut milk: canned coconut milk or try making homemade coconut milk
  • strawberries: I used whole fresh Florida strawberries because they are in season at the moment. You can also use frozen strawberries.
  • ice: use whatever ice cubes you have on hand.

Homemade Tropical Smoothie Directions

Prep: Freeze the pineapple overnight. You could also freeze the strawberries if you like an extra frosty smoothie.

Step 1: Measure your ingredients.

Step 2: Place the coconut milk, ice cubes, frozen pineapple and strawberries in a blender and place the lid on tightly.

Step 3: Blend the smoothie ingredients until thick and smooth. If your blender has a smoothie setting use it. Or you can use the crush ice setting.

Step 4: Divide the smoothie between two tall glasses.

I enjoy a naturally sweetened smoothie without any added sugar.

If you like your smoothies sweet add your sweetener of choice to the blender with the rest of the ingredients.

Smoothie making tips

  • frozen fruit: save time by keeping fruit in the freezer to make smoothies.
  • freezing fruit: freeze fruit in serving size baggies that are always on hand and ready to add to the blender.
  • smoothie sweeteners: If you like a sweet smoothie add 1 or 2 tablespoons of sugar or honey to the ingredients.
  • This recipe could be made using coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk or even regular milk.
  • thick smoothies: you can add ½ cup of Greek yogurt for an extra thick smoothie.
  • ice: Leave the ice in the freezer until you need them so they don't melt and make the smoothie watery.
