# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally five minutes with zero cooking required
  • The combination of creamy coconut milk and bright pineapple hits every craving at once
02 -
  • Frozen pineapple changes the game completely so keep a bag stashed in your freezer for those moments you need instant sunshine
  • Letting the smoothie sit too long causes it to separate so drink it right away while still frosty and perfectly combined
03 -
  • Start your blender on low speed to prevent ingredients from getting stuck under the blades
  • If using fresh pineapple that isnt quite sweet enough add a medjool date instead of syrup for natural sweetness
