Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen pineapple cubes
  • 7-10 coconut milk ice cubes *see notes
  • 1 ½ - 2 cups oat milk *or other milk of choice or coconut water, see notes
  • 2 dates *or sub honey/ maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.

Instructions

  • Give the coconut milk a good shake so that you end up with a creamy milk (the coconut cream should not be separated from the water). Then pour the milk into an ice cube tray and freeze overnight.
  • If you're not using store-bought frozen diced pineapple then cut the fresh pineapple into little chunks and freeze in a ziplock bag.
  • Put all of the ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Start with 1 ½ cups of oat milk and work your way up from there depending on your preferred consistency.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness. For a sweeter smoothie, add more dates or other sweetener of choice.

Notes

  • Sweetness: The sweetness of the smoothie will depend on how ripe your pineapple is so make sure to choose a very ripe one. Feel free to add more dates for a sweeter smoothie or add you sweetener of choice.
  • Thickness: Start with 1 ½ cups of milk for a thicker smoothie and 2 cups for a thinner smoothie.
  • Oat Milk: Any non-dairy milk will work such as almond milk or soy milk. Other than that, you could use coconut water (but this will result in a different taste).
  • Coconut Milk Ice Cubes: The higher the fat content of the milk, the creamier the smoothie will be. 
  • Serving Size: makes 1 big or 2 small smoothies, feel free to double the ingredients
  • Storage: This smoothie keeps in the fridge for up to 1 day. Keep it in an airtight container such as a glass jar with a lid. Give it a good stir before serving.
