Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1 cup coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients: Lay everything out on the counter for easy access.
  2. Prepare the fruits: Cut fresh pineapple into chunks or drain canned pineapple. Peel and dice the mango, removing the pit. Slice the banana into rounds.
  3. Measure the liquids: Pour 1 cup of coconut milk into a measuring cup. If using Greek yogurt, measure out 1/2 cup.
  4. Prepare the sweetener: Measure 1 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup. Adjust later based on taste.
  5. Gather your tools: Ensure your blender is clean and ready. Have a spatula handy for scraping down the sides.
  6. Add the fruits to the blender: Layer the pineapple, mango, and banana in the blender.
  7. Pour in the liquids: Add the coconut milk and Greek yogurt (if using).
  8. Add the sweetener and vanilla: Drizzle in honey or agave syrup and add vanilla extract.
  9. Add the ice: Toss in 1 cup of ice cubes for a refreshing texture.
  10. Blend it up: Secure the lid and blend on low, gradually increasing to high speed for 30-60 seconds until smooth.
  11. Check the consistency: If too thick, add more coconut milk; if too thin, add more ice or fruit.
  12. Taste and adjust: Taste the smoothie and add more sweetener if desired, then blend again.
  13. Prepare your glasses: Use clear glasses to showcase the smoothie’s color.
  14. Pour the smoothie: Fill the glasses about three-quarters full.
  15. Garnish (optional): Top with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute the coconut milk with almond or oat milk for a different flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness based on the ripeness of your fruits.
