Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (225g) frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup (240ml) canned full-fat coconut milk
- 1 small ripe banana, peeled
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for topping)
- Fresh berries or sliced kiwi (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Measure out 1 ½ cups (225g) of frozen pineapple chunks and peel a small ripe banana. If using fresh pineapple, chop into chunks and freeze for at least 2 hours before blending.
- Add pineapple, banana, and coconut milk to the blender. Pour in 1 cup (240ml) of canned full-fat coconut milk for richness. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add 2 tablespoons more, but be careful not to make it too runny.
- Blend on high speed. Start blending for about 30 seconds, then stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula to incorporate all bits. Blend again for another 30 seconds until smooth and creamy. The texture should be thick enough to hold toppings—imagine soft-serve ice cream.
- Add lime juice and sweetener. Pour in 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice and 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if desired. Blend for an additional 10 seconds to mix everything evenly.
- Pour the smoothie into a wide, shallow bowl.
- Add toppings. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut and 1 tablespoon chia seeds for texture and nutrition. Add fresh berries, sliced kiwi, or granola clusters if desired.
- Serve immediately with a spoon for the best texture.
Notes
If the smoothie is too thick to blend, add a splash of water or more coconut milk gradually. For extra cold and thick texture, freeze the banana for 30 minutes before blending. Blend in short bursts and scrape down the sides regularly for smooth texture. Serve immediately to avoid melting and separation.
