Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (frozen pineapple works too for a chillier smoothie!)

1 cup coconut milk (choose between canned or carton for your preference)

1 ripe banana, sliced into rounds

½ cup Greek yogurt (or substitute with a plant-based yogurt if desired)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (feel free to adjust the amount according to your sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for an extra nutritional boost)

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Ice cubes (optional, for a frostier texture)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish and a touch of color)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: If using fresh pineapple, start by peeling, coring, and chopping it into bite-sized chunks. Slice the banana into rounds, and gather all other ingredients to have them ready for blending.

    Blend the Base: In a powerful blender, add the prepared pineapple chunks, coconut milk, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, chia seeds (if you’re including them), and vanilla extract.

      Add Ice (Optional): For a refreshingly chilled smoothie, toss in a handful of ice cubes at this stage.

        Blend Until Smooth: Start the blender on a low setting to combine the ingredients, then gradually increase to high speed. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy—this should take about 30 to 45 seconds.

          Taste and Adjust: Once blended, taste your smoothie. If you find you crave more sweetness, add a bit more honey or syrup, and blend again for just a few seconds to incorporate.

            Serve: Carefully pour the smoothie into chilled glasses for a delightful presentation. For a finishing touch, garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint leaves.

              Enjoy: Indulge in your Tropical Paradise Smoothie immediately to enjoy the vibrant flavors and optimal freshness!
