Sunshine Smoothie

Start your day right with a tropical blend of pineapple, mangoes, orange, and carrots in this refreshing sunshine smoothie. It’s the perfect way to brighten up your mornings!

I’ve got a quick and easy breakfast idea for you today.  It’s a fresh and fruity tropical sunshine smoothie made from a blend of pineapple, mangoes, orange and carrots.

This super refreshing blend of tropical and citrus fruit always reminds me of warm weather and sun-filled days, which is why I call it a sunshine smoothie.  I also happen to think it’s a pretty nice way to start out your day on a bright note.

What's in a Sunshine Smoothie?

You’ve got a veritable medley of fruit flavors in this icy delight like sweet mango, pineapple and orange.  Carrots add a bit more natural sweetness and nutrition, and a touch of ginger brings a little zip to wake up your taste buds. Finally yogurt makes the smoothie nice and creamy.

Ingredient Notes:

(Here are a few notes about the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe.  As always find the full list of ingredients and directions in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.)
