Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (carton or canned)
  • 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup mango or berries (optional)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, for thickness)
  • 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds, flaxseed, or protein powder (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tsp lime juice (optional, for flavor boost)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, add coconut milk, banana, pineapple, and any optional fruits or add-ins.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30–60 seconds.
  3. Taste and adjust: add more milk to thin, more fruit for sweetness, or ice for a thicker texture.
  4. Pour into a glass and serve immediately. Garnish with shredded coconut, fruit, or lime if desired.

Notes

  • Use frozen fruit for a thick, milkshake-like consistency without needing ice.
  • To make it a smoothie bowl, reduce the coconut milk and serve topped with granola or fresh fruit.
  • Spinach or kale can be added for a green smoothie variation.
  • Use carton coconut milk for a lighter drink or canned for extra creaminess.
