Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 1/2 cups (225 g / 8 oz) frozen strawberries
- 1 1/2 cups (225 g / 8 oz) frozen pineapple
Liquids & Sweeteners
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) coconut milk (can substitute with another milk of choice)
- 1 to 2 tbsp agave syrup (can substitute with honey or maple syrup)
Other
- 2 tbsp (30 g / 1 oz) white chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix chocolate and coconut milk: Add the coconut milk, white chocolate, and agave syrup to the bottom of a high-powered blender. Pulse briefly to chop the chocolate into smaller pieces.
- Add frozen fruit: Add the frozen strawberries and pineapple to the blender. If your blender isn’t very powerful, let the strawberries defrost for 10 minutes to soften or cut larger fruits in half for easier blending.
- Blend: Blend for about 30 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You might need to pulse a few times to fully incorporate the frozen fruits depending on your blender’s power.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses. Optionally garnish with fresh fruit and chocolate sprinkles. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a high-powered blender to achieve the smoothest texture.
- For a dairy-free or vegan option, choose coconut milk or plant-based milk and substitute agave syrup for honey.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more coconut milk to adjust the consistency.
- To reduce sweetness, adjust the amount of agave syrup or omit the white chocolate.
- Fresh fruit garnishes add a nice touch but are optional.
