Tropical Breeze Smoothie

If you prefer your fruit smoothies to be on the sweet side...you're gonna love this one.  The coconut manna adds such a rich sweetness that no additional sweeteners are needed.  

It's sweet enough to cure that mid day sweet tooth, but healthy enough to have for breakfast.
