Equipment
- Blender (High-speed for the best texture)
- Measuring Cups & Spoons
- Knife & Cutting Board (if using fresh fruit)
- Serving glass & straw (for ultimate vibes)
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups frozen pineapple chunks (or fresh, but frozen makes it creamier)
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for the richest texture, or light for fewer calories)
- ½ banana (adds creaminess and natural sweetness)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (optional, for protein and thickness)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, only if needed for extra sweetness)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (for an extra flavour boost)
- ½ cup ice cubes (if using fresh pineapple)
- Pinch of sea salt (trust me, it enhances the tropical taste!)
- Splash of lime juice (optional, for extra zing)
Instructions
- Add liquids first – Pour coconut milk, lime juice, and vanilla extract into the blender.
- Toss in the fruit – Add frozen pineapple, banana, and Greek yogurt.
- Sweeten it up (if needed) – Drizzle in honey or maple syrup.
- Blend like a pro – Start on low speed, then crank it up to high for 30-45 seconds until it’s ultra-smooth.
- Taste & adjust – Want it thicker? Add more frozen pineapple. Too thick? Splash in extra coconut milk.
- Serve immediately – Pour into glasses, top with a pineapple wedge, shredded coconut, and a cherry if you’re feeling fancy.
- Sip & enjoy – Close your eyes, take a sip, and pretend you’re on a beach.
