I have had this smoothie name in my head for about 4 years. I was working at a juice and smoothie bar at the time, and they had a smoothie that was tropical-ish and had kale in it. And they did NOT call it “tropikale cooler” and I never understood why they didn’t capitalize on that pun. So I had to go and make my own version!
This smoothie is seriously refreshing and makes me want to go lay by the pool. Or the beach. Or anywhere with palm trees. There is coconut x4 in this one: coconut oil, frozen coconut chunks, coconut water & shredded coconut on top! You go glen coco(nuts).
I have been using Trader Joe’s frozen coconut chunks in my smoothies now for a few weeks, and they are amazing. Check them out here. They are JUST coconut, they thicken up your smoothie like no other, and all full of fiber and healthy fats! I hope you guys love this smoothie- I know I do.
