How To Make A Tropical Smoothie

Ingredients

1 cup frozen pineapple chunks (you can also use fresh)
1 banana
6 ounces vanilla yogurt
1 cup coconut milk (you can also use regular milk)
1 tablespoon honey
whipped cream (optional)

In a blender, combine the pineapple, banana, yogurt, milk, and honey. Puree until smooth.

Pour into glasses.

Garnish with whipped cream, if desired.

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.
