Instructions

Add the unsweetened coconut milk beverage to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen banana, pineapple chunks, mango chunks, plain Greek yogurt, pure vanilla extract, and fine sea salt.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, or until completely smooth.
Check the consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional coconut milk; if too thin, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit and blend again.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use frozen chunks of pineapple and mango to keep the smoothie cold and thick without watering it down. Substitute coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version.
