Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150g) frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 2 medium kiwis, peeled and sliced
- ½ cup (120ml) coconut cream
- ¼ cup (60ml) unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut (for topping)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for topping)
- Fresh mint leaves (a few, chopped, optional garnish)
Instructions
- Peel and slice 2 ripe kiwis and a banana. Set aside a few kiwi slices for topping.
- Measure 1 cup (150g) frozen pineapple chunks straight from the freezer.
- Combine frozen pineapple, banana, ½ cup (120ml) coconut cream, ¼ cup (60ml) unsweetened coconut milk, 1 tsp fresh lime juice, and 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (if using) in a high-speed blender.
- Blend starting on low speed to break up frozen chunks, then increase to high speed. Blend for 1-2 minutes until silky smooth and thick. Add more coconut milk (1 tbsp at a time) if too thick and blend again.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or lime juice if needed.
- Pour the smoothie mixture into a serving bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
- Top with reserved kiwi slices, shredded coconut, chia seeds, and fresh mint leaves.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
Use frozen fruit to keep the bowl thick and cold. If coconut cream is unavailable, chill full-fat canned coconut milk overnight and scoop the cream. For a lower-fat option, substitute coconut cream with Greek or plant-based yogurt. Freeze banana slices ahead for a colder, thicker bowl. Blend in bursts to avoid overheating coconut cream. Let frozen fruit thaw slightly if blender struggles.
