Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Frozen Strawberries
  • 1/2 medium, ripe Banana
  • 1/2 cup Frozen Pineapple Chunks
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Shredded Coconut (Optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Lime Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Honey or Agave (Optional)

Prepare Ingredients

Gather your frozen strawberries, ripe banana, frozen pineapple chunks, coconut milk, optional shredded coconut, lime juice, and sweetener (honey or agave).

Combine in Blender

Add all the ingredients into a blender. Start with the coconut milk, followed by the banana, strawberries, pineapple, lime juice, and sweetener (if using).

Blend Until Smooth

Blend on high speed until the smoothie is completely smooth, about 30-60 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more coconut milk. If it's too thin, add more frozen fruit.

Taste and Adjust (Tropical)

Taste the smoothie and adjust the flavors. Add more lime juice for extra tanginess or more honey/agave for sweetness. Adjust consistency by adding more liquid or frozen ingredients.

Serve and Garnish

Pour the smoothie into a glass. Garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut and a small wedge of pineapple or strawberry on the rim of the glass. Enjoy the tropical twist!

Other Considerations for Nutrition

Using light coconut milk can help reduce the fat content. Be mindful of the added sugars from honey or agave, especially if using sweetened coconut milk. Ensure the pineapple is naturally sweet to minimize the need for added sweeteners. Coconut milk can contain a high amount of saturated fat, so consume in moderation.

FAQ

  • Can I use fresh pineapple instead of frozen?

    Yes, but using frozen pineapple will help make the smoothie colder and thicker. If you use fresh pineapple, consider adding a few ice cubes.
  • Can I substitute coconut milk with another type of milk?

    Yes, you can use almond milk, oat milk, or regular dairy milk, but the flavor profile will change.
  • Is it necessary to add lime juice?

    The lime juice adds a bright, tropical flavor that complements the other ingredients, but you can omit it if you prefer.
