Ingredients (Simple, Clean, and Actually Easy)

Here’s what you’ll need for this pineapple coconut smoothie:

• 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
• ¾ cup coconut milk (or light coconut milk / unsweetened almond milk)
• ½ cup coconut yogurt (or Greek yogurt if you’re not dairy-free)
• ½ banana (optional for extra creaminess)
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, only if your pineapple isn’t sweet)

How to Make a Pineapple Coconut Smoothie (Step-by-Step)

1. Pour your liquid (coconut milk) into the blender first.
2. Add pineapple, yogurt, and banana (if using).

Pineapple Coconut Smoothie Texture Tips (So It’s Not Watery)

Let’s keep it real: watery smoothies are a crime.

• Want it thicker? Use frozen pineapple + less liquid.
• Want it creamier? Add more yogurt or a bit more banana.
• Want it lighter? Use light coconut milk and skip banana.
• Want it extra cold? Use frozen fruit instead of dumping a ton of ice.

Clean Eating Add-Ins (Optional, but Worth It)

These add-ins may support fullness and balanced energy without making big claims:

• Chia seeds (1 tbsp): thicker + fiber
• Ground flax (1 tbsp): gentle nutty flavor + fiber
• Spinach (a small handful): you won’t taste it much, promise
• Protein option: a scoop of plain protein powder (optional)

Variations (Pick Your Mood)

1) Dairy-Free Pineapple Coconut Smoothie

• Use coconut yogurt + coconut milk (already perfect).

2) Higher-Protein Version

• Use Greek yogurt (if dairy is okay)
• Or add protein powder (plain/vanilla works best)

3) Pineapple Coconut Smoothie Without Banana

• Skip banana and use:
  • extra coconut yogurt, or
  • a few ice cubes + more frozen pineapple

4) “Piña Colada” Vibes (Still Clean)

• Add a tiny splash of vanilla and a bit more shredded coconut.
  It’s basically vacation in a glass… without the awkward sunburn.

What to Serve It With

This smoothie is great alone, but if you want it more filling:

• a handful of nuts
• toast with peanut butter
• boiled eggs
• oatmeal on the side

Clean eating doesn’t mean tiny portions. It means smart choices.
