Pineapple Coconut Smoothie

This pineapple coconut smoothie is a light and refreshing drink that’s just THREE simple ingredients! The recipe is SCD, Paleo, dairy free, gluten free, and added sugar free.

For me, nothing SCREAMS summer more than a combo of pineapple and coconut!

This dairy free smoothie tastes so similar to a pina colada that if I close my eyes and drown out the sounds of my shrieking toddlers, it’s ALMOST like I’m on vacation!

I ALWAYS use Native Forest Simple Organic Coconut Milk for recipes that call for coconut milk, since the the only ingredients are water and organic coconut. I also appreciate that the can is BPA free!

Before using the coconut milk in the recipe, shake the can to ensure the coconut cream and water are well combined.

how to make the dairy free pineapple coconut smoothie

Simply pour the coconut milk into a high speed blender, then add the frozen banana and pineapple chunks.

Blend until smooth and creamy!

Pour into glasses and, if you’re feeling a little fancy, top with any extra pineapple chunks and sprinkle with unsweetened shredded coconut!

Smoothie Tips:

• If you prefer more of an ice cream or smoothie bowl consistency, reduce the coconut milk to 3/4 or 1 cup.
• Add one cup of ice to the blender if using fresh pineapple and bananas.
• I prefer my smoothies on the thicker side, if you like a thinner drink, increase the coconut milk until your desired consistency is reached.
