Ingredients:
-
1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
Sweet, tart, and icy — they thicken the smoothie without needing frozen banana. -
½ cup coconut milk (use full-fat for extra creaminess or light for a lighter sip)
-
½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla — for protein and a silky texture)
-
1 tablespoon honey (optional, depending on how sweet your pineapple is)
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (adds warmth and depth)
-
½ cup ice cubes (for extra chill and body)
Instructions:
-
Add to Blender
In a high-speed blender, add the frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and ice cubes. -
Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high speed for 30–60 seconds, or until everything is creamy and smooth. Scrape down the sides if needed and blend again briefly. -
Taste & Adjust
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness to your preference. Add a little more honey or a splash of pineapple juice if desired. -
Serve
Pour into a tall glass, garnish with a pineapple wedge, toasted coconut flakes, or even a mini cocktail umbrella for fun!
