Tropical Coconut Smoothie

When tropical fruit starts piling up on the counter, this is what we make. The Tropical Coconut Smoothie is creamy, naturally sweet, and a simple way to use ripe fruit before it goes to waste.

It’s the kind of recipe kids can easily help with—measuring, pouring, pressing the blender button—and it comes together in just minutes. Fresh, cold, and lightly sweet, it tastes like a mini vacation in a glass.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup coconut milk (canned is fine)
  • 1/3 cup plain or Greek yogurt
  • 1 banana (frozen for extra creaminess)
  • 1 cup pineapple, cubed (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons agave or honey
  • Handful of ice (omit if using frozen fruit)

Instructions

  1. Add the coconut milk, yogurt, banana, pineapple, agave (or honey), and ice to a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Creamier Texture:
    Use frozen banana or frozen pineapple and skip the ice for a thicker smoothie.
  • Adjust Sweetness:
    Taste before adding the full amount of sweetener—very ripe fruit may not need much.
  • Make It Dairy-Free:
    Use a dairy-free yogurt alternative if needed.
  • For Babies:
    Do not add honey for children under 12 months.
  • Storage:
    Best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before serving.
