Ingredients & Substitutions
Using fresh pineapple is a game changer for this smoothie. If you can't find fresh, frozen works too! The coconut milk adds such a creamy texture, and you can play around with different kinds—canned or carton, just make sure it's unsweetened if you're watching sugar intake.
Tips & Notes
- •I usually keep my frozen banana slices in a glass jar in the freezer. They stay fresh for ages and are perfect for smoothies.
- •If you want to bulk it up, sometimes I add a tablespoon of chia seeds. It gives it a nice texture and boosts the nutrition!
Recipe Variations
- •If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll sometimes add a splash of fresh lime juice for a zesty kick.
- •You can also swap out the coconut milk for almond milk if you prefer a lighter version.
Storage & Freezing
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake before you drink it, as it might separate a little.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits?
Absolutely! Mango would be a fantastic substitute, or you could even add some berries if you want a different flavor profile.

Instructions
- 1
Gather all your ingredients. I like to have everything out on the counter so it feels like a little smoothie station.

In a blender, combine the fresh pineapple, coconut milk, banana, and spinach (if using). Don’t worry, the spinach won’t change the flavor at all.

Add the agave syrup and ice cubes. If you want it sweeter, you can always add more syrup later.
- 4
Blend on high until everything is smooth and creamy. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender if some pineapple chunks stick.
- 5
Taste the smoothie. If it needs a little more sweetness, add a touch more agave and blend again.
- 6
Pour into glasses and sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes on top for that extra tropical vibe.

Serve immediately and enjoy your little piece of paradise!
