- 2 pieces ripe banana
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)

Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender if needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or agave syrup if desired.
Pour the blend into glasses and sprinkle shredded coconut on top for garnish, if using.
Optionally, decorate the rim of the glass with a pineapple wedge or banana slice for a fun tropical touch.
