# What You Need:

01 - 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen pineapple chunks

02 - 1 ripe banana, optional for added creaminess

03 - 1 cup coconut milk, canned for richer texture or carton for lighter

04 - ½ cup coconut water or plain water

05 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut

06 - 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or agave, optional to taste

07 - ½ cup ice cubes, optional for extra chill

01 - Add the pineapple chunks, banana if using, coconut milk, coconut water, shredded coconut, maple syrup, and ice cubes to a blender canister.

02 - Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, approximately 1 minute. Stop and scrape down sides if necessary.

03 - Taste the smoothie and add more maple syrup or agave if additional sweetness is desired. Blend briefly to incorporate.

04 - Pour into two glasses and serve right away. Garnish with a fresh pineapple wedge or sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top if desired.

01 -

It comes together in literally five minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry or freezer
The combination manages to feel rich and indulgent while staying completely light enough for breakfast or an afternoon pick me up

02 -

Frozen pineapple absolutely changes the texture game making it thick and creamy without needing a ton of ice which waters down the flavor
Start with less sweetener than you think you need because the coconut water adds natural sweetness that sneaks up on you

03 -

Let frozen pineapple sit on the counter for five minutes before blending to save your blender motor
Use slightly warmed coconut milk if your blender seems to be struggling with frozen chunks
