Piña Colada Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
• 1/2 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
• 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut water
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• ice cubes as needed

Method

1. 1

   Add canned full-fat coconut milk, coconut water, and vanilla to the blender — reaching for the full-fat canned coconut milk here, rather than a lighter coconut beverage from a carton, is what gives this smoothie its characteristically rich, creamy mouthfeel instead of a thin, watery texture.

2. 2

   Add the frozen pineapple chunks.

3. 3

   Blend on high until completely smooth and thick, adding a few ice cubes if a thicker, slushier texture is desired.

4. 4

   Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
