Ingredients & Substitutions

frozen pineapple – frozen pineapple is the star of the show for this smoothie. frozen banana – the banana adds a bit more natural sweetness and makes the smoothie thick and creamy. coconut milk – coconut milk adds creaminess and tropical flavor to this smoothie. I used light canned coconut milk. If you don’t have coconut milk on hand you can also use coconut water or another dairy-free milk of choice like almond milk or oat milk. You could also use juice for the liquid base of this smoothie like pineapple juice or orange juice, if desired. yogurt – this adds more creaminess and some protein. I like to use coconut yogurt or vanilla Greek yogurt, but feel free to use your favorite yogurt of choice. honey or maple syrup – this is optional, but can be added if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.

How to Make

Just place all of your ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the consistency as desired, adding more liquid for a thinner smoothie or some ice for a thicker smoothie. Pour your smoothie into a glass and enjoy!
