A creamy, tropical‑inspired smoothie using coconut milk as the base, combined with banana, pineapple or mango, and optional add‑ins for richness, sweetness and nutrition.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup full‑fat or light coconut milk (from a can or carton)
  • 1 ripe banana (preferably frozen for extra creaminess)
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks or mango (fresh or frozen)
  • 12 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness)
  • ½ cup ice cubes (optional, for colder texture)
  • Optional add‑ins: 1 Tbsp chia seeds or flaxseed, a handful of spinach, 1 scoop protein powder, 2 Tbsp shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Place the coconut milk, banana, pineapple or mango, and any optional add‑ins into your blender.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If you used fresh fruit and want it colder or thicker, add ice cubes and blend again. ([turn0search1], [turn0search4])
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup if needed.
  4. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately — the best flavor and texture are fresh. ([turn0search3])

Notes

  • You can use coconut milk from a can or from a carton — canned tends to give a richer, thicker texture. ([turn0search3], [turn0search4])
  • If you don’t have frozen banana or pineapple, use fresh and add ice to help thicken the smoothie. ([turn0search4])
  • For a dairy‑free version (already is, if using plant‑based milk), you can still swap in almond or oat milk, though coconut milk gives the richest “tropical” flavour. ([turn0search4])
  • To keep sugar in check, be mindful of added sweeteners — many coconut milk smoothie recipes skip them when the fruit is ripe. ([turn0search1])
