Instructions
- Add the unsweetened coconut milk beverage to a high-speed blender.
- Add the frozen pineapple chunks, chopped apple, chopped cucumber, fine sea salt, and pure vanilla extract.
- Add the ice cubes and blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
- Check the consistency and blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional coconut milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use fresh pineapple if frozen is not available, adjusting ice for thickness. Pre-chill the coconut milk for a colder smoothie.
