Instructions

Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients needed for the smoothie and place them on your kitchen counter to have everything ready for blending.
Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the frozen pineapple chunks, ripe banana, full-fat coconut milk, freshly squeezed lime juice, and honey or maple syrup.
Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30 seconds or until smooth and creamy.
Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add additional coconut milk gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
Add Ice and Blend Again: Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend once more until the smoothie is icy and smooth.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and add more honey or maple syrup if a sweeter flavor is preferred. Blend briefly to mix.
Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into glasses and garnish with fresh pineapple wedges or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for extra tropical flair.

Notes

For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey.
Full-fat coconut milk provides a rich, creamy texture, but light coconut milk can be used for fewer calories.
Add a handful of spinach or kale to boost nutrition without altering the taste much.
Adjust lime juice based on your preference for tartness.
Use fresh pineapple chunks if frozen is not available, but add extra ice to chill.
