Ingredients

1 ripe banana sliced and frozen
1 cup pineapple chunks frozen (fresh or canned)
3 TBSP frozen orange juice concentrate
½ cup milk
½ cup pineapple juice
2 TBSP shredded coconut optional
1 tsp coconut extract or vanilla extract
6 ice cubes
1-2 TBSP honey

Instructions

Prep: The night before you want to enjoy this smoothie, freeze the banana and pineapple chunks. This really helps create a wonderful smooth texture.
Blend: Grab your blender and combine the frozen banana and pineapple chunks, add in the orange juice, milk, pineapple juice, coconut flakes (optional), desired flavor of extract, and ice cubes.
Proceed to place the lid onto the blender and blend ingredients together on high speed for 2-3 minutes or until no lumps remain.
Give the mixture a taste test and then add 1-2 tablespoons (depending on your preference) of honey to sweeten.
Serve: Divide the smoothie mixture between two drinking glasses, add straws (if desired) and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Smoothies are best when enjoyed immediately, they do not save well.
