Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium Banana (ripe, for sweetness)
- 10 leaves Mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 cup Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Honey or agave syrup
Instructions
1. Gather all your ingredients and ensure your pineapple chunks are ready to go. If using frozen pineapple, you do not need to thaw it.
2. In a blender, add 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk. This serves as the creamy base for the smoothie without adding unnecessary sodium.
3. Add 1 cup of pineapple chunks to the blender. Pineapple not only adds a tropical flavor but also natural sweetness, reducing the need for additional sweeteners.
4. Peel and slice 1 medium banana and add it to the blender. The banana provides a smooth texture and additional sweetness.
5. Add approximately 10 fresh mint leaves. These leaves will give your smoothie a refreshing twist.
6. Squeeze 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice and add it to the blender. Lime juice enhances the tropical flavors and adds a slight tartness.
7. Add 0.5 cup of ice cubes to the blender. This will thicken the smoothie and make it chilled and refreshing.
8. For sweetness, add 1 teaspoon of honey or agave syrup. You can adjust the amount based on your preference for sweetness.
9. Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Ensure the mint leaves and ice are fully incorporated to avoid any large chunks.
10. Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness with more honey or agave if needed.
11. Pour the smoothie into two serving glasses and garnish with additional mint leaves if desired.
12. Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium refreshing coconut smoothie!
