- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks adds natural sweetness
- 1 medium ripe banana peeled and frozen for creaminess
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice about half a lime
- 1 tsp lime zest finely grated for aroma

Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately, but you can store the blended base (without toppings) in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Thaw slightly and re-blend before serving. Make-Ahead: Prepare the smoothie base and freeze in individual containers for quick assembly. Add toppings fresh when ready to serve. Variations: Substitute mango for papaya or use almond milk instead of coconut milk. For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla plant-based protein powder. Serving Suggestion: Serve with a reusable straw for drinking the thinner edges and a spoon for the thick center.
