Coconut pineapple banana smoothie
Sorry about the long list of nouns one after another in the title of this recipe. I was considering going with ‘tropical smoothie’, but I personally find descriptive titles more tempting – so coconut pineapple banana smoothie it is.
It’s not often that every single ingredient of a recipe is listed in its title, but in this case, what you see is what you get. Literally: coconut milk, pineapple and bananas. They combine to give the most incredible tropical flavour that makes me feel like I’m back in Mexico.
(a dash of rum wouldn’t go amiss either, though depending on your lifestyle it may be less suitable for breakfast that way…)
I am quite partial to a good smoothie – I always go for some sort of juice or smoothie at a cafe when everyone else is having coffee or Coke.
Are you into blenders (as much as anyone can be ‘into’ a kitchen appliance, anyway)? Let me know if there’s anything in particular you’d like to see me make over the next few months! I’ve never had such a great blender before so I’m a bit of a blender newbie. To be honest, I’ve spent most of the time I’ve been using it just staring in awe at the way it makes the liquid rise right up in the jug with a big hole down the middle… I’m guessing this novelty will wear off with time? I hope so, because it makes for very unproductive cooking.

Got leftover coconut milk? Put it to good use in my coconut oats with brown sugar bananas! (they’re vegan dontcha know!)
Have never made or ever had a smoothie… bought coconut milk, will use crushed pineapple & bananas & will use a blender…Should work…This sounds so delicious.
Enjoy! :)
A great reminder to use coconut milk in my smoothies more often!
Sounds like a beach vacation in a glass! What a wonderful summer treat.
This sounds so beachy-lovely. I’m thinking rum. Spiced rum. Oh, yes.
That looks amazing and so smooth…with 3 of my favourite flavours, I’ll be trying this for sure :-) Thanks!
Coconut, pineapple and banana , you are right I am already dreaming blue skies, golden beaches and the lapping of the waves on the sand. Your smoothie looks great and I am sure it tastes even better.
Your smoothie looks silky smooth! The Optimum 9400 really is good isn’t it.
I’m impressed with mine.
Love the flavours Becca. I agree is easy to get hooked on smoothies. It’s getting all that raw goodness as well as the lovely flavours. Glad you are enjoying your blender.
Mmmm looks so yummy, already have a smoothie maker so can’t wait to try this now, thanks for another great recipe Becca :)
OOF that smoothie is just what I need! I got back from the Dominican Republic a couple of days ago and have been missing all the tropical drinks. That blender looks pretty fancy – perfect for making all sorts of drinks – boozy or otherwise ;)
