Quick and easy smoothie with tropical flavors of coconut, pineapple and banana! This Coconut Pineapple Banana Smoothie is so simple and perfect for new moms and dads!
And a virtual baby shower!
You might be trying to figure out what is going on here? Why do I have anything coconut on my site? Maybe you knew, maybe you didn’t but I am not a coconut fan. At all. It’s a texture thing and a flavor thing. We will get to that another day. Anyways so why a recipe that includes coconut?
Well I am doing this for a dear friend, Zainab, over at Blahnik Baker. You see she is about to be a mommy soon. What a special event in her life! So me and some of her blogging friends decided to get together and celebrate this occasion with her!
Now Zainab loves all things coconut. She has over 30 recipes on her site dedicated to coconut. So for us it was simple, we needed to give her more coconut.
I chose this smoothie because let’s face it. After having a baby, ain’t no body got time to cook or eat or sleep or anything else. But being a new mom and dad you need to keep your strength up. A quick smoothie can do that for you, especially if it is great tasting!
Some how some coconut water ended up in my house and I thought to myself, what in the world am I going to do with this? Well I was making a smoothie one day and I said maybe I can use it in there.
So I dumped some in and sure enough it was good. I was shocked. I actually liked it! There are pineapples and bananas in this smoothie as well so the flavors are all blended together so you might not actually know there was coconut in it.
If you wanted to you could add some shredded coconut into it, but I will leave that up for you to decided. ENJOY!
Congratulations Zainb and Mr.J!
