Expert Tips

  • I like to use frozen pineapple but fresh will work great too. Just add ½ cup of ice cubes to the blender if you're using fresh pineapple.
  • To make your smoothie thinner, add small amounts of water, milk or juice and process for 10-15 seconds.
  • To make a smoothie thicker, add additional fruit, ice, or yogurt and process for 20-30 seconds.

    I have never used Coconut milk, what section of the Grocery Store do you find this. This sounds so delish. Thanks!

      Hi Peggy,
      You can find coconut milk in the refrigerator section of the grocery store. It should be near the cow's milk and soy milks. You can actually use any type of milk in this recipe but I happen to love the flavor the coconut milk adds to it.
