Preparation Time: 20 minutes

For the whipped cream:

Whisk all ingredients except the pumpkin, coconut cream concentrate and coffee together in a large bowl until thoroughly mixed. Add the pumpkin puree and coconut cream concentrate, blend until smooth with a stick blender (or in your regular blender). Pour into ice cube trays. Freeze until firm or overnight.

Once your pumpkin cubes have frozen, place 10-12 cubes in a blender and pour 1 cup of chilled coffee over the cubes. Blend just until all the big chunks are gone. The length of time you blend will determine the consistency of your drink.

Pour into a cup and top with some delicious homemade coconut whipped cream (directions below), and some cinnamon and flaked coconut for a garnish!

For the whipped cream:

Pour the cream into a glass bowl and whip with a hand mixer until the cream begins to thicken. Add the maple syrup and then whip until stiff peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and the shredded coconut and mix until just combined.

Quick Tropical Coconut Smoothie

Quick Tropical Coconut Smoothie (photo by recipe author)

This is my favorite smoothie! I LOVE the tropical notes in it, and how flexible it can be. These amounts are not rigid, but guidelines. On days when I need to finish up some spinach, or want the extra protein and nutrient boost of greens, I add some spinach or spirulina to it! But, I love the cute orange color when it’s plain.

Servings: 6-8
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

  • 2-3 large bananas, fresh or frozen
  • 2 cups coconut milk*
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or coconut cream concentrate
  • 1/4 cup flax seeds
  • 2-4 cups pineapple juice (or raw pineapple and increased coconut milk)
  • 4-6 cups frozen mango chunks
  • 2-3 cups unpacked fresh spinach or a pinch of spirulina (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons hemp hearts or hemp protein powder
  • Raw honey or dates to sweeten (optional, and usually not needed)

In a high-powered, high-capacity blender, add all ingredients, except for any frozen fruit. If you are opting for spinach and/or dates, this is the time to add it! I usually start out on the lower end of the liquids and increase as needed or desired.

Start blender out at low speed and slowly increase to high, allowing all of the flax seeds (and spinach) to be liquefied. Once that happens, you should have a large amount of liquid yumminess! To this, you will add your frozen mangoes, until your desired amount and consistency are reached. I often add more pure pineapple juice to get the desired tropical flavor, if it’s lacking. This smoothie is creamy, sweet, and delicious! Enjoy!
