Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup light coconut milk from a can
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder about 30g protein per scoop
  • 1 tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut optional
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lime juice fresh

Method
 

  1. **Layer.** Add coconut milk to a high powered blender first, then protein powder, frozen pineapple, shredded coconut, vanilla, and lime juice.
  2. **Blend.** Run on low for 10 seconds then medium for 30 seconds until thick and frosty. Stop and scrape if needed.
  3. **Check.** Taste and add a splash more coconut milk if too thick or another half cup of pineapple if too thin.
  4. **Serve.** Pour into a tall glass and top with extra shredded coconut and a pineapple wedge. Drink right away.

Notes

Use frozen pineapple chunks not fresh for the thickest creamiest texture. Light coconut milk from a can works best. Coconut milk beverage from a carton is too thin. Add a tablespoon of shredded coconut for extra texture if you like.
