Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup coconut water cold
- 0.5 cup canned coconut milk full-fat for creaminess
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp pure maple syrup or agave nectar optional, to taste
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 0.25 tsp fresh ginger grated (optional)
Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately. If you must store it, pour into an airtight jar, leaving minimal air space, and refrigerate for up to 12 hours. Shake or stir vigorously before drinking as separation may occur. Make-Ahead: Pre-measure the chia seeds, sweetener, and ginger into a small container. Pre-portion the frozen pineapple into a freezer bag. In the morning, simply add everything to the blender with the liquids. Variations: Add a handful of spinach for a green boost or a scoop of vanilla protein powder. Substitute mango for half the pineapple. For a thicker smoothie bowl, reduce coconut water to 1/2 cup.
