Description
On gray mornings or sunburned afternoons, this smoothie is my edible escape—a frosty glass of tropical joy that whisks you away to hammock days and salty breezes. Inspired by a beach shack in Costa Rica and perfected in my tiny kitchen, it’s creamy, zippy, sweet, and so easy you’ll memorize it after one try. Frozen fruit gives it that milkshake-like chill, and every sip is a reminder that self-care can be as simple as hitting “blend.” Ready to pour yourself a vacation?
