• Coconut Milk — Gives the smoothie a rich, creamy texture and a hint of coconut flavor. It’s also a great dairy-free alternative.
• Coconut Flakes — Adds texture and an extra layer of coconut flavor. Plus, they look pretty when garnishing! If you’re garnishing with toasted coconut, it adds a bit of crunch and delicious toasty flavor.
• Raw Honey — Sweetens the smoothie naturally and offers some antioxidants. You can adjust the amount to your taste.

How to Make a Pineapple Avocado Smoothie

Combine the Ingredients: Toss in your pineapple chunks, frozen avocado, coconut milk, coconut flakes, and ice cubes into the blender. These are the core ingredients that will make your smoothie a tropical paradise in a glass.

Blend it Up: Secure the blender lid and start blending. Keep it going until all the ingredients are well-mixed and you’ve got a smooth, creamy texture.

Adjust Consistency: If your smoothie is thicker than you’d like, feel free to add a splash more of coconut milk. Blend again briefly to incorporate the extra liquid.

Taste and Sweeten: Give your smoothie a quick taste. If it needs a little more sweetness, add a tablespoon of raw honey and blend again for a few seconds.

Pour and Garnish: Once you’re happy with the taste and texture, go ahead and pour the smoothie into two glasses. Sprinkle some toasted coconut on top for that extra crunch and a dash of gourmet flair.

Serving Suggestions

This Pineapple Avocado Coconut Smoothie pairs wonderfully with a light breakfast like a fruit salad or granola and yogurt. It’s also a fantastic companion to a poolside afternoon or a post-workout snack to replenish your energy. If you’re feeling extra fancy, serve it with a colorful paper umbrella or a slice of pineapple on the rim for that ultimate tropical vibe!

Storage and Freezing

Refrigerator: Pour any leftover smoothie into an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It’s best to consume it within 24 hours to maintain the freshness and flavor. Give it a good shake or a quick blend before serving, as the ingredients may separate over time.

Freezing: If you’d like to make this smoothie ahead of time, you can freeze it in individual portions using silicone molds or ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer the smoothie cubes to a zip-top bag and store in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply blend the frozen cubes with a splash of coconut milk to bring it back to life.

Avocado Pineapple Smoothie Tips and Tricks

• Chill Your Glasses: Pop your serving glasses in the freezer for about 10 minutes before you’re ready to pour. This will keep your smoothie colder for longer!
• Use Frozen Pineapple: If you want an even colder, slushier texture, consider using frozen pineapple chunks instead of fresh. This also eliminates the need for ice, making your smoothie even more flavorful.
• Blend in Stages: If your blender struggles with frozen ingredients, start by blending the coconut milk and avocado first to create a smooth base. Then add the pineapple, ice, and other ingredients.

Additions and Variations

Customize Your Toppings: Don’t limit yourself to toasted coconut. Feel free to garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or even a drizzle of extra honey for added sweetness and texture.

Nutritional Boost: Want to make your smoothie even healthier? Consider adding a spoonful of protein powder or a handful of spinach. It won’t dramatically change the flavor but will add some extra nutrients.

Spice it Up: A pinch of cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg can add a warm, spicy note to your smoothie.

Protein Boost: If you’re looking for a post-workout snack, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
