This high-fiber tropical smoothie is basically like a beach getaway in a glass. On busy mornings (or pretty much any time I need a pick-me-up), I love blending this up and pretending I’m somewhere warm and sunny instead of in my kitchen.

The flavors of mango, strawberries, and banana really shine through, but this smoothie also sneaks in spinach and flax seeds for a hidden boost of fiber, delivering about 12 grams per serving. Plus, it’s made with soy milk, which offers a solid chunk of protein and makes it a more balanced breakfast or snack.

Use frozen fruit to make it extra thick and creamy, top it off with coconut flakes for a tropical vibe, and then grab your sunglasses and start sipping. Enjoy!
