Instructions
-
Prep the Fruit: For that thick, “soft-serve” consistency seen in the photo, ensure your pineapple and banana are fully frozen before starting.
-
Blend: Add the coconut milk, frozen pineapple, frozen banana, and sweetener to a high-speed blender.
-
Process: Start on a low speed and gradually increase. You may need to use a tamper or stop to scrape down the sides, as the mixture will be very thick.
-
Assemble: Pour into a chilled glass.
-
Garnish: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top, a fresh pineapple wedge on the rim, and a gold straw to match the aesthetic!
Pro-Tips for the Perfect Texture
-
The “Frosty” Look: If your smoothie is too liquidy, add more frozen pineapple or a few ice cubes.
-
The Color: The small brown flecks in the image suggest the use of a natural sweetener like flax seeds or dates. If you want a nutritional boost, toss in 1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds before blending.
-
Dairy-Free: Use coconut whipped cream to keep the entire recipe vegan and dairy-free.
