If you’re dreaming of vacation, this smoothie is for you. It's filled with healthy ingredients, including one frozen secret ingredient that the kids will never notice! Plus it's got lots of cold busting vitamin C, which is helpful in the chilly months.

A tropical smoothie with lots of vitamin C...

This tropical smoothie has been on repeat in my house recently. It’s made with classic ingredients like pineapple, mango, banana, and coconut, but it also has a secret ingredient: frozen cauliflower. I love adding the frozen cauliflower, it helps to balance out the sweet fruit, it adds vitamins c, k and b6, and it helps to give the smoothie its frozen texture. Don’t skip the vanilla and nutmeg, they really add extra tropical notes too. If you’re dreaming of vacation, this smoothie is for you!
