Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)

1 ripe banana

1/2 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks

1/2 cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

Juice of 1/2 lime

A handful of fresh spinach (optional, for added nutrition)

Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled smoothie)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: If you're using fresh fruits, peel and chop the banana, and chop the pineapple and mango if necessary. If using frozen fruit, there's no need to thaw them.

    Blend: In a blender, combine the coconut milk, banana, pineapple, mango, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup (if using), lime juice, and spinach if desired.

      Add Ice (Optional): If you prefer a colder smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender.

        Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high until all ingredients are well-combined and you reach a smooth, creamy consistency. This should take about 30-60 seconds.

          Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more honey or maple syrup, blending again briefly to combine.

            Serve: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass or bowl. You can garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds, a slice of pineapple or mango on the rim, or even some shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture.

              Enjoy: Sip and savor your refreshing Tropical Chia Coconut Smoothie as a healthy breakfast, snack, or post-workout treat!
