Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup coconut milk (or coconut cream for a richer texture)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (optional for extra creaminess)
- 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- ½ cup ice cubes (if using fresh fruit)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Optional garnish: shredded coconut, fresh strawberries, pineapple wedges
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
- If using fresh strawberries, hull them and chop if necessary.

Step 2: Blend the Smoothie
- In a blender, combine the strawberries, pineapple chunks, coconut milk, Greek yogurt (if using), honey, and vanilla extract.
- Add the ice cubes if using fresh fruit.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Adjust Consistency
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of water, coconut milk, or pineapple juice to thin it out.
- If it’s too thin, add more frozen fruit or ice cubes.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Pour the smoothie into glasses.
- Garnish with shredded coconut, fresh strawberries, or pineapple wedges for a tropical flair.

Tips for Success
- Frozen Fruit: Using frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice and makes the smoothie thicker and frostier.
- Alcohol Option: Add a splash of rum for an adult twist.
- Batch It: Double the recipe and freeze leftovers in popsicle molds for a frozen treat!
