    Our homemade Jetty Punch Tropical Smoothie is a perfect blend of strawberries and bananas for the classic strawberry banana flair with a tangy twist. Its creamy texture is super easy to make, which is why we love it so much!

    I love whipping up popular recipes in a nutritious way. I've found that frozen fruits make our smoothies thick and frosty with all the flavor. The difference in our version is we have no added sugars. Only strawberries, bananas, and pure apple juice.

    This delicious smoothie is great on its own, or you can jazz it up with extras like greens, pineapple, chia seeds, cacao, or protein powder! The possibilities are vast.

    Beyond this jetty punch smoothie, I’ve recreated a whole slew of Tropical Smoothie Café menu items—Beach Bum, Bahama Mama, Kiwi Quencher, you name it, transforming each into a refreshing, healthful option for any day. We have tons of other super easy copycat recipes, too- from Panera Bread to First Watch.

    Ingredients

    A plate with a whole frozen banana beside a mound of frozen strawberries, with a small bowl of apple juice to the side, ingredients prepped for a smoothie.

    Frozen Strawberries: Organic is best!

    Organic Frozen Bananas: Peel your ripe bananas and placethem into a freezer bag overnight and they're ready by morning! They're a great source of potassium and vitamin B6.

    Apple Juice: For the liquid base, use cold-pressed organic apple juice. You can buy it or make it at home with organic apples. If buying at the store, not from concentrate is best!

    Substitutions and Variations

    Tropical Flavors: Swap out or add other tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, or papaya to dive into more exotic fruity flavors.

    Cashew Milk or Almond Milk: These nut milks are great alternatives for a dairy-free, creamy base. Check out our comparison guide to cashew vs almond milk and a DIY recipe!

    Cocoa Powder or White Chocolate: Mix in a bit for a chocolatey delight.

    Protein Boosters: A scoop of protein powder or a handful of nuts can add nutrition and keep you fuller longer.

    How to Make Jetty Punch Tropical Smoothie

    Ingredients ready for blending: frozen strawberries and a banana in the bottom of a blender with a layer of ice crystals on top, indicating they are frozen.

    Step 1: Add the frozen strawberries, banana, and apple juice to a high-speed blender. Blend until it's smooth.

    Step 3: Adjust the consistency. Add more apple juice if you need to help smooth the consistency. Add ice or more frozen fruits if it's too thin.

    Step 4: Pour your smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately.

    Tip: Freeze your banana beforehand—peel, slice, and store in a freezer-safe container.

    Expert tip

    Add your apple juice slowly and keep blending until you reach your desired consistency.
