Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups fresh pineapple chunks, ripe and juicy
- 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1 medium frozen banana
- ½ cup (120 g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes
- A few tablespoons fresh pineapple chunks (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
- A few fresh mint leaves, chopped
- Granola or toasted nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the toppings: Toast the coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool. Toast nuts or granola if using.
- Blend the smoothie base: In a high-speed blender, combine fresh pineapple chunks, frozen banana, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and honey (if using). Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add more coconut milk by tablespoon if too thick.
- Check consistency and flavor: Taste the smoothie base and adjust by adding more lime juice for tang or honey/maple syrup for sweetness. Blend briefly if additions are made.
- Assemble the bowl: Pour the smoothie base into a serving bowl. Arrange toasted coconut flakes, fresh pineapple chunks, chia seeds, mint leaves, and granola or nuts on top.
- Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.
Notes
Use frozen pineapple if fresh is not available; thaw slightly before blending. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt. Avoid over-blending to prevent watery or icy texture. Toast coconut flakes gently to avoid burning. Add toppings just before serving to maintain crunch.
