Hello delicious and colorful Paleo Caribbean Sunset Smoothie! I have been craving you all day. A refreshing, satisfying and filling drink that makes you feel alive and gives you all of the tropical feels? Yup, I wanna keep this one around for a bit! Especially now that Summer is right around the corned and those hot days are going to make us crave nothing but icy cold drinks. Ahhh, summer, my kind of living.

This smoothie recipe comes from my Paleo Smoothies cookbook, which I wrote back in 2014. And it came out around May, so it’s been around four years since I wrote it. I can’t believe it’s been that long. Time flies, my friends. It seems to me like it was just yesterday that I blew up my blender due to overuse haha. That seriously happened. I made so many smoothies and tested so many recipes, that my blender literally started smoking and it just gave up. But that’s when my husband surprised me with a Vitamix, so I was not mad about it. Kinda glad it happened, ya know? #win

My Paleo Smoothies Cookbook has 150 smoothie recipes that fit the Paleo lifestyle and are Paleo approved. There’s something for everyone there, a smoothie for every and any occasion. I share tropical smoothies, such as the one I am sharing with you today, all fruit smoothies, dessert-type smoothies, three-ingredient smoothies, green-smoothies, you name it. It’s there.

Plus, the cookbook has a few intro chapters about the Paleo Diet, why to follow it, how to incorporate smoothies (and why) into the Paleo diet, and a bunch of smoothie tips and tricks. I spent a lot of time writing these, so the info is on-point and very insightful.

This particular smoothie recipe is one I really love, because it takes me back to the Caribbean beach, where my family and I vacationed a few times. We’d go there when school was out, and some of our most cherished memories were created while on trips like these, being together without any distractions. I wanted to create a smoothie that sort of represented those memories, adding the flavors we would taste at the beach.

This Paleo Caribbean Sunset Smoothie is super refreshing and and carries my favorite fruits: banana, papaya, strawberries and orange. As you can see in the recipe below, it only calls for fruits, so all the sugar in this drink is 100% natural. No added anything. Not even honey. Pure fruits.

The combination of the fruits here makes for a balanced smoothie as far as taste and texture goes. It can be enjoyed first thing in the morning, as a snack mid-day, or while watching a sunset later in the day.
