Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 6 cups fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
- 2 sliced bananas
Liquid
- 1/2 – 1 cup pineapple juice (can substitute almond milk or additional coconut milk)
Optional Additions
- Honey, to taste
- Vanilla extract, to taste
Instructions
- Freeze the coconut milk: Pour the canned coconut milk into an ice cube tray and freeze completely. This step helps the smoothie achieve a cold, creamy texture without water dilution from regular ice cubes.
- Prepare the smoothie packs: In freezer-safe bags or containers, combine the frozen coconut milk cubes, pineapple chunks, and sliced bananas. Portion the ingredients evenly so you get four smoothie packs, ready to blend whenever you want.
- Blend to serve: When ready to enjoy, place one smoothie pack contents into a blender. Add 1/2 to 1 cup of pineapple juice, almond milk, or coconut milk depending on your preferred consistency. Optionally, add honey or vanilla extract for extra sweetness and flavor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen pineapple chunks depending on availability and preference.
- Adjust the amount of pineapple juice or milk to achieve your desired smoothie thickness.
- For a sweeter smoothie, add honey or a splash of vanilla extract before blending.
- This recipe yields four freezer packs, each perfect for a single smoothie serving.
- Freezing coconut milk beforehand avoids watering down the smoothie and enhances creaminess.
