Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 piece ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
- whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- toasted coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Gather all the ingredients and ensure the pineapple chunks are well-drained if using canned pineapple.
In a blender, combine the coconut milk, pineapple chunks, banana, shredded coconut, honey (or agave syrup), vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, add a little more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency and blend again.
Taste the shake and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or agave syrup, if needed.
Divide the shake between two glasses.
Optional: Top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes for added texture and presentation.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your tropical coconut shake!
