Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (frozen works too!)

1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)

1 ripe banana, sliced

½ cup Greek yogurt (or a plant-based alternative)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added nutrition)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Ice cubes (optional, for a frostier texture)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: If using fresh pineapple, peel, core, and chop the pineapple into chunks. Slice the banana and gather all other ingredients.

    Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks, coconut milk, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, chia seeds (if using), and vanilla extract.

      Add Ice (Optional): If you prefer a chilled smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender.

        Blend Until Smooth: Start blending on low and gradually increase to high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds.

          Taste and Adjust: Give the smoothie a taste. If you desire more sweetness, add a touch more honey or syrup and blend again briefly.

            Serve: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
