Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1.5 cups frozen pineapple
  • 1 cup kale
  • 1 cup coconut milk, plus more as needed
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • handful of ice

Instructions

  • Blend together the kale and coconut milk until smooth before adding the rest of the ingredients.
  • If your blender isn't very powerful, you can either add more milk or blend half the amount of pineapple at a time before adding the rest, adding the ice last. This ensures there's enough liquid to blend the solids.

Notes

How can you make this piña colada smoothie using what you already have? Here are some ideas
  • No pineapple? ➝ if you can't find frozen pineapple or you don't like the taste, you can also use frozen mango
  • No kale? ➝ sub spinach instead
  • No coconut milk? ➝ choose another creamy milk such as oat or cashew
  • No maple syrup? ➝ sub honey, half a banana, a pitted Medjool date, or omit completely depending on your desired level of sweetness
