Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup water or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sweetener (honey or maple syrup, optional)
Instructions
- Place the frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, water or almond milk, shredded coconut, lime juice, and sweetener (if using) into a high-speed blender.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add more liquid, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass immediately and serve.
Notes
- Use frozen pineapple for the best thick and cold texture without needing ice.
- For a richer coconut flavor, substitute the water/almond milk with more coconut milk.
- Add one scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder for a post-workout boost.
