Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup frozen banana slices
- 0.5 cup full-fat coconut milk (from a can, chilled)
- 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Optional toppings fresh berries, sliced kiwi, toasted coconut flakes, chia seeds
Instructions
- 1
Combine the frozen pineapple chunks, frozen banana slices, chilled full-fat coconut milk, unsweetened shredded coconut, and lime juice in a high-powered blender. Ensure your blender is capable of handling frozen ingredients for a smooth consistency.
- 2
Blend on low speed initially, gradually increasing to high speed, using the blender's tamper to push the ingredients down towards the blades. Continue blending for about 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and has a thick, soft-serve ice cream consistency. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
- 3
Once the smoothie is thick and creamy, spoon it immediately into serving bowls. The goal is a texture that is firm enough to hold toppings without sinking.
- 4
Decorate your smoothie bowls with your desired optional toppings, such as fresh berries, sliced kiwi, toasted coconut flakes, or chia seeds. Arrange them artfully for an appealing presentation.
- 5
Serve the smoothie bowls immediately to enjoy their refreshing, cold texture and vibrant flavors. These bowls are best consumed right after preparation.

Tips & Notes
- Any plant-based milk works here — oat milk (certified GF) gives the richest mouthfeel; almond milk keeps it lighter.
- The riper (more spotted) the bananas, the sweeter and more intensely flavored your result will be.
- Coconut milk separates in the can — stir or shake well before using.
