Pineapple Coconut Lime Smoothie

Tropical tang meets creamy coconut in this Pineapple Coconut Lime Smoothie. (GF + Vegan)

Some things are best left simple.

In my opinion, smoothies are one of those things. I really prefer smoothies without too much fuss or too many frills. Sure, you can make great-tasting drinks with lots of ingredients, but I’ve found that by keeping things pretty simple–just a handful of ingredients–you get to really savor and enjoy the flavors.

In this pineapple coconut lime smoothie, you can really enjoy each of the ingredients individually. The pineapple brings a tangy tropical flavor, the coconut adds silky creaminess and a good dose of healthy fats, and the lime brightens things up. It’s a tangy, creamy, bright match made in heaven.

One of my favorite breakfasts or snacks, this Creamy Pineapple Coconut Lime Smoothie is a plant powered dream come true.

While simplicity is a beautiful thing, you can absolutely tweak this smoothie. Sometimes, I’ll add a tablespoon of chia seeds or I’ll go halvsies by subbing in 1 1/2 cups mango and 1 1/2 cups pineapple instead of 3 cups straight pineapple. You can also certainly make this a green smoothie by adding in some spinach.

NOTES ON THE RECIPE

Make it Green. Pineapple is one of my favorite fruits for making green smoothies work with little ones. It seems to mask any strong taste from spinach or kale if those aren’t your jam. I sometimes toss 1/2-1 cup of spinach into this

Make it a Popsicle. I’m a huge fan of smoothie popsicles for snacks. This is a great one to freeze in a popsicle mold for a super refreshing, healthy treat. You can make popsicles out of the whole batch, or just freeze any leftovers if you’re just making a smoothie for one.

We love the tropical vibe of this Pineapple Coconut Lime Smoothie. A creamy vegan treat!

    This smoothie looks delicious! Maybe if I drink it I’ll feel like I’m on a tropical vacation… and not in freezing Atlanta right now.
