Paradise Smoothie

The Recipe’s Story

The Paradise Smoothie is a burst of tropical refreshment that can turn any ordinary moment into a mini vacation. One sip and you’ll swear you’ve found sunshine in a glass. Whether you’re easing into a busy morning or looking for a quick midday reset, this tropical smoothie lets you sip the tropics — no plane ticket required!

This is hands-down one of the best smoothie recipes for the busy lives of both adults and kids. Why? Speed and simplicity. You’re never more than five minutes away from pure refreshment. For adults, it’s energizing fuel for any time of the day. For kids, it’s a sweet but wholesome treat after school. 

Powered by real fruit, the Paradise Smoothie proves that easy smoothie recipes can be both wholesome and indulgent. It’s hydrating, fruity and free from the extra sugars and additives often found in store-bought fruit smoothies.

The ingredient lineup starts with bright, tangy and irresistibly tropical Dole^® 100% Pineapple Juice*, setting the base and bringing the sunshine flavor this smoothie is known for. Dole^® Frozen Strawberries follow with a sweet-tart kick and an icy chill. A ripe banana adds more creamy texture and natural sweetness. Then there’s the real star: Dole^® Canned Tropical Fruit, a fruit medley of mango, papaya and pineapple that brings a delightful variety of tropical notes. Finally, yogurt ties it all together, giving every sip a smooth, satisfying finish.

The result is a perfect balance of sweet, tart and creamy. Each refreshing sip of this quick smoothie feels like a sunny escape, full of energy and brightness — perfect for hot days, or whenever you need a pick-me-up.

Blending it up couldn’t be simpler. Just add all of the fruit, the Dole^® 100% Pineapple Juice*, and yogurt to the blender and blend until smooth. In less than five minutes, you’re in paradise. 

We highly recommend serving your Paradise Smoothie in a chilled glass. Add a garnish of fresh fruit or shredded coconut for an extra tropical touch. It pairs beautifully with a light breakfast or brunch, but is just as satisfying on its own!
