This tropical green smoothie is light, refreshing, and packed with nutrition! 

It's been at least a couple of weeks since I posted a new smoothie recipe, so I just had to create another one!  I've gotten pretty good at making green smoothies over the past few months and have tried all sorts of flavor combinations.  This time I decided to try a more tropical approach, especially since fall is kind of an unexpected time of year for a tropical-themed smoothie recipe.  :) 

If you're a fellow lover of green smoothies, here are a few of the others I've posted that you might enjoy:

Mango green tea smoothie

This recipe features pineapple and coconut as the tropical twist, with creamy Greek yogurt bringing protein and substance to the smoothie.   I think it makes for one very refreshing way to start the day, no matter what time of year you choose to enjoy it!
