Bahama Mama Smoothie Recipe

This Bahama Mama Smoothie is a fun take on a classic: loaded with oranges, pineapple, coconut, and dark cherries – dairy free & high protein! A great way to rise & shine with a tasty smoothie made with tropical fruits.

This beautiful two toned smoothie has blended sweet dark cherries, orange juice, and coconut for major vacation vibes. A great summer time refresher, or the perfect winter drink to get you going for the day.

This smoothie is a fun take on a classic cocktail: the Bahama mama!  A Bahama mama is typically made with orange juice, pineapple juice, coconut rum, and grenadine. We’ve given this cocktail a new twist by blending fresh fruit and unsweetened coconut flakes.

I added some vanilla protein powder to make this a heartier smoothie as well. This smoothie feels like a vacation in a glass, and is loaded with good-for-you fruits, is high in fiber, and loaded with plant-based protein.

This Bahama Mama Tropical Smoothie Recipe Is:

• Bright
• Fresh
• Fruity
• Satisfying
• A Great No-Cook Breakfast or Snack
• High in Protein & Fiber

Make A Bahama Mama Smoothie Dairy Free for a Plant-Based Version

This dairy free Bahama Mama Smoothie is a fantastic take on the classic without all the dairy. I’m all about making recipes plant-based and dairy free when I can. Dairy-free cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. You can achieve total richness and creaminess with some simple swaps.

By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make better meals for you and your family. These easy recipes are fantastic meatless and dairy free meals for your table.

What’s In a Bahama Mama Smoothie?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Dark Sweet Cherries
• Pineapple – fresh or frozen
• Coconut Water – full of electrolytes and an amazing taste!
• Orange
• Unsweetened Coconut – I use unsweetened coconut in my recipes to control the amount of sugar that goes in.  You can always add more sweetness, but it’s hard to take out – start off with simple unsweetened coconut and add more sweetness later if you need to.
• Orange Juice
• Banana
• Plant-Based Vanilla Protein Powder

Frozen Fruit Smoothie Recipes For the Win!

I used frozen fruit for this recipe instead of fresh. This is a great way to transform fruit into a bright and tasty breakfast the whole family can enjoy. By using freezer ingredients, I can stock up when they are on sale, and use them in all kinds of great dishes. It saves me a trip to the store, and I can have amazing smoothies in no time.

Check out all my recipes that use Freezer Ingredients on The Herbeevore – great for those nights when you want dinner ready fast!
