Pineapple Coconut Glow

Ingredients

• 1 cup pineapple chunks
• 1/2 banana
• 3/4 cup light coconut milk or coconut water
• 1 tablespoon plain yogurt, optional
• A squeeze of lime, optional

How to make it

1. Add coconut milk or coconut water to the blender first.
2. Add pineapple, banana and yogurt if using.
3. Blend until silky and pourable.
4. Add lime at the end if the pineapple tastes very sweet.

Common mistakes

• Using only thick canned coconut cream without enough liquid.
• Adding too much banana and hiding the pineapple flavor.
• Serving after it separates instead of drinking fresh.

Best texture

Keep this smoothie drinkable, light and freshly blended. If it becomes too thick, add cold water, milk, kefir or coconut water one tablespoon at a time until it pours easily.
