Instructions:

Blend the Base:
In a blender, combine frozen pineapple, banana, coconut milk, yogurt, honey, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth and thick. If it’s too thick to blend, add a splash more coconut milk, but keep it creamy enough to hold toppings. -
Serve:
Spoon the smoothie into bowls. It should have a thick, spoonable texture like soft ice cream. -
Add Toppings:
Decorate your bowl with fresh fruit, granola, toasted coconut, chia seeds, and a few mint leaves for color and freshness. -
Enjoy Immediately:
Serve right away for the best texture and flavor.
Tips:
-
Freeze your banana and pineapple ahead of time for a thick, cold consistency.
-
Use Greek yogurt if you want extra protein and creaminess.
-
Drizzle with almond butter or sprinkle some crushed nuts for added crunch.
-
For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and skip the honey.
