Equipment
- High-Powered Professional Bender
Ingredients
- 2 Bananas (frozen)
- 1 Cup Blueberries (frozen)
- 1 Cup Pineapple (frozen) cubed
- 1 Cup Coconut Milk
- 1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 Cup Coconut (shredded)
- 2 Tsp Hemp Hearts or Chia Seeds (optional)
- 1 Tbsp Honey (optional) (agave necture or maple syrup)
Instructions
- Add Frozen Fruits: Place 2 frozen bananas (sliced), 1 cup of frozen blueberries, and 1 cup of frozen cubed pineapple into the blender. If your fruits are not frozen, consider adding a few ice cubes to achieve the desired thickness.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Add 1 cup of coconut milk to the blender. Scoop ½ cup of Greek yogurt, 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract, and ⅓ Cup Shredded Coconut Flakes.
- Include Optional Add-Ins: For a nutritional boost, add 2 teaspoons of hemp hearts or chia seeds. These are optional but contribute extra protein, fiber, and omega-3s.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add 1 tablespoon of honey (or agave nectar or maple syrup). Adjust the sweetness to your taste preference.
- Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on the blender. Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes or until all ingredients are fully combined and the smoothie has a creamy consistency. Pause to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
- Check the Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more coconut milk (1-2 tablespoons at a time) and blend again until you reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, you can add more frozen fruit or a few ice cubes and blend again.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into glasses. For an extra touch, garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut, a few fresh blueberries, or a small slice of pineapple.
- Enjoy your refreshing Blueberry Pineapple Coconut Smoothie immediately. If you have leftovers, store them in a sealed container in the fridge and consume within 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking if separation occurs.
