Make a Piña Colada Power Smoothie (Virgin)

STEPS
INGREDIENTS
Add 1/3 cup of water or coconut water to your blender. You can skip this step and double the amount of milk (step 2) for a creamier result.
Add 1/3 cup milk or coconut milk.
Add your pineapple. I used 2 slices of canned pineapple but frozen or fresh would work well. Bonus: if using canned pineapple, add a splash of the juice for extra sweetness!
Add your yoghurt. I used 2 very heaped teaspoons of Greek yoghurt. Add more for a creamier smoothie but keep in mind that this will dilute the pineapple and coconut flavors.
Since this smoothie lacks my usual leafy greens and oats I supplement with added fiber. This is my fiber of choice. Keyword: Gentle 😊
Add a heaped teaspoon of fiber.
Sprinkle in a few dried goji berries for your superfood fix.
I always add a protein source to my smoothies to increase the nutritional value and keep me feeling satisfied. Peanut butter is my go-to but that won't work here so I add a scoop of protein powder.
Add 2 heaped teaspoons of coconut.
Start your blender on the low setting.
With the blender running remove the filler cap and add 1/2 a fresh or frozen banana.
Drop in your ice cubes.
Once you are happy that the ice cubes are blended, turn up your blender to a high setting for about 10 seconds.
Pour and garnish with a pineapple piece and a sprinkle of coconut. Enjoy!
