It’s been a hot minute since we’ve been to Hawaii but I’m still picturing lush tropical hikes to a waterfall, river kayaking, and those soft trade winds that temper the heat. You can still get that same toes in the sand feeling at home by grabbing your blender, some frozen tropical fruit mix, a box of silken tofu, and blending up this ridiculously delicious vegan smoothie bowl.

I usually buy a frozen tropical fruit mix for this smoothie bowl recipe, but it’s fun to get creative and blend up your own fruit mix depending on what you have on hand. For a balance of flavors that are both sweet and tart, try a combination of mango/papaya with pineapple and other sweet fruits like peaches and berries. The magic ingredient, though, is silken tofu. It creates fool-proof creaminess every time and gives you a plant-based protein kick too.

Step 2:

2.  Securely attach the lid to your container and blend until creamy, starting at low speed and working up to medium speed. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides of the container or use the tamper (with a Vitamix) to push the food down and around toward the blade. This will take about a minute or more, depending on what type of blender you are using.
