Notes
- Helpful Tips & Substitutions:
- For a creamier texture, replace half of the coconut water with light coconut or almond milk.
- For a lighter smoothie with a less sweet taste, replace half of the coconut water with cold water. However, this smoothie is not overly sweet despite the pineapple chunks.
- Serve over some frozen pineapple chunks on a hot summer day.
- Stir in protein powder if enjoyed as a post-workout drink.
- Add a tad of lemon, lime juice, or lemon zest for a more refreshing acidic element.
- Add a small amount of fresh ginger for a spicier touch.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add maple syrup or honey.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
