Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 piece frozen banana
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 5 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Begin by peeling the banana and slicing it into manageable chunks, then place these on a tray and freeze for at least an hour if not already frozen.
In a blender, combine the coconut milk and maple syrup, ensuring an even blend of liquids at the base for smooth operation.
Add the frozen banana chunks, pineapple chunks, and shredded coconut to the blender.
Pour in the vanilla extract for a hint of flavor that complements the tropical ingredients.
Top the mixture with ice cubes to provide a refreshing chill to the smoothie.
Blend on high for approximately 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
If the consistency is too thick for your liking, add an additional splash of coconut milk and blend briefly again.
Once blended to your desired consistency, pour the smoothie into two glasses, sharing the tropical goodness.
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top for extra taste and texture.
Serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant and refreshing flavors at their best.
