Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups/spoons
  • Knife (for chopping fresh ingredients)

Ingredients
  

  • Base Ingredients:
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk full-fat or light
  • 1/4 cup coconut cream optional, for extra creaminess
  • 1 banana frozen for a thicker texture
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup adjust to taste
  • Ice cubes optional, for desired thickness
  • Optional Add-ins:
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt adds protein and tanginess
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds for extra nutrition
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract enhances tropical flavor

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients. If using fresh pineapple, add extra ice to compensate.
  • Pour coconut milk and coconut cream into the blender first.
  • Add frozen pineapple, banana, sweetener, and any optional add-ins.
  • Blend on low speed first, then increase to high until smooth (about 30-45 seconds).
  • Check consistency. Add more coconut milk if too thick or more ice if too thin.
  • Pour into a glass and optionally garnish with a pineapple wedge or toasted coconut.

Notes

For a protein-packed version, add Greek yogurt and protein powder.
To make it lower in calories, use light coconut milk and skip coconut cream.
For extra nutrients, blend in a handful of spinach or 1/4 avocado.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 12 hours. Shake before drinking.
