- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (full-fat canned for best results)
- 1/2 cup water or additional coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave, adjust to taste)
- Place the frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, water, shredded coconut, lime juice, and sweetener into a high-speed blender.
- Start blending on a low speed to break down the frozen fruit, then gradually increase to high speed.
- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a small amount of water or coconut milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour immediately into glasses and serve.
Notes
- Use frozen pineapple to achieve a thick, cold texture without needing ice, which can dilute the flavor.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat canned coconut cream instead of standard coconut milk.
- To make this a protein smoothie, add one scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder before blending.
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup or agave as the sweetener.
