If you love berry, citrus and sweet, creamy smoothies, this recipe is for you! We start with frozen bananas and lots of frozen raspberries, which create a cool, creamy and rich base with a sweet and tart flavor contrast. We then add unsweetened almond milk, orange juice and pomegranate juice for the perfect creamy, sweet and tart combination. This smoothie is summer in a cup.

3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

Tropical Fruit Smoothie
material
1 ½ cups frozen mango
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup frozen sweet pineapple
2 cups orange juice
1 cup vanilla yogurt
direction
Pour the orange juice into a blender. Add the fruit and blend until thoroughly pureed. You may need to stop the blender and stir the fruit a bit because it is frozen.
Add the yogurt and mix again until completely combined.
Pour into a tall glass and enjoy.

Creamy Watermelon Smoothie
This creamy vegan watermelon smoothie has a hint of coconut flavor thanks to the coconut milk yogurt, strawberries add color, and bananas add a smooth texture and complement the watermelon flavor.
raw materials
2 cups shredded seedless watermelon, plus watermelon slices for garnish
1 small banana (about 5 ounces)
¾ cup fresh strawberries (stalks removed and cut in half)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk yogurt (such as So Delicious)
2 teaspoons agave syrup or honey
direction
Arrange the cut watermelon evenly on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Freeze until completely frozen, at least 2 hours but up to 12 hours.
Cut the bananas in half crosswise, then peel one banana and set aside (reserve the remaining banana half for another use). Add the frozen watermelon, peeled banana half, strawberries, yogurt, agave (or honey), and salt to a blender. Process until completely smooth and creamy, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides as needed. Divide between 2 glasses. Garnish with watermelon wedges, if desired.
