Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 ripe banana, frozen or fresh
- 1/4 cup canned coconut cream
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 4–5 ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and slice the banana if fresh, and measure out your frozen pineapple chunks.
- Place 1 cup of frozen pineapple, 1 ripe banana, 1/4 cup coconut cream, and 1/2 cup almond milk into the blender jar.
- Add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if desired for sweetness.
- Add 4-5 ice cubes for extra thickness and chill, especially if your fruit isn’t frozen.
- Pulse on low to combine, then blend on high for 30-45 seconds or until silky smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
- If too thick, add a splash more almond milk; if too thin, add a couple more ice cubes or frozen pineapple chunks and blend again.
- Pour into your favorite glass and serve immediately.
Notes
Use frozen pineapple and banana for best texture. Coconut cream is thicker and richer than coconut milk, providing a silky mouthfeel. Add ice cubes if using fresh banana to keep smoothie cold. Avoid over-blending to prevent warming the smoothie. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup to taste. For vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey. Can add protein powder or spinach for variations.
