Thank you for this. My kid loves it! So do I.
This looks amazing. My daughter and I are allergic to pineapples. What would be a good substitute? Peach maybe?
Bananas add sweetness. You can use dates or other sweet fruits instead. You can also use honey or maple syrup if you need the added sweetness!
Do you have any good ideas for substituting bananas in smoothie recipes? I have recently developed an allergy.

We made these for St. Patrick’s Day and the kids have requested them every day since. We did a few modifications…I didn’t have mango so we substituted strawberry (it wasn’t as bright but still very yummy). I also used a peach orange juice blend. Thanks for the inspiration!
