We are in the new year, 2020, can you believe it? As we’re making goals to eat healthy and get in more of our daily vitamins, especially for my kids, I love making a tropical smoothie! They are easy to blend and everyone loves them!

Not only is this a delicious smoothie you can make any time of the year, you’ll love how fresh it tastes with the tropical fruit recipe. It will transport your mind into thinking it’s summer again!
