1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added nutrition)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Ice cubes (optional, for a frostier texture)

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.

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