Tips & Notes
- Full-fat coconut milk separates in the can, and cold coconut fat can turn into waxy flecks when it hits frozen pineapple. Use a room-temperature can and shake or whisk it smooth before you measure the 1 cup.
- Chia seeds keep soaking up liquid after blending, so the smoothie thickens noticeably as it sits. If it waits before serving, blend in a splash of coconut milk or water to loosen it again.
- Most granola is oat-based, so for the smoothie bowl variation pick one labeled gluten-free. Oats often pick up gluten from neighboring crops and shared mills unless they are labeled gluten-free.
