Summer is here and it is hot, hot, hot! I wish I could lounge at the pool every day to cool off, but unfortunately I have work and other things to do :( Instead, I cool off by making smoothies. My favorite summer time smoothie is this Pineapple, Banana, and Coconut Smoothie. This tropical smoothie is easy to make and very refreshing.
I combine fresh pineapple, banana, light coconut milk, and ice in a blender and mix until smooth. It is that easy! This smoothie is great for breakfast, snack time, or even dessert. If you can’t lounge at the pool every day or go on a tropical vacation-make this Pineapple, Banana, Coconut Smoothie. It is the next best thing.

Oh my…how refreshing this sounds..I am running out for coconut milk right now. Everything else is a staple. Thanks for something new that is yummy and good for you!
Kelley-I just use coconut milk from the can.
Do you buy coconut milk, or do you buy a coconut and use the milk inside?
Oh, man! It’s the middle of winter here in Australia, so it’s way too cold for smoothies, but this looks SO good! I think I’ll be keeping this recipe stored safely away for summer! :)
Maria, this is awesome. And I so happen to have all the ingredients!
Tracy, I love your idea of freezing the bananas. Great tip!
Peel your bananas that no one is eating (this happens at my house), and freeze them in a zipper bag. The frozen banana blends into the smoothie in a different way than a fresh banana, adding a thickness that resembles ice cream, I think. Have you tried that?
