Instructions
- Add the unsweetened coconut milk beverage to a high-speed blender.
- Add the frozen pineapple chunks, chopped apple, protein powder, 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, until completely smooth.
- Check consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional liquid; 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 pineapple chunks to achieve a creamy texture without needing much ice. For a dairy-free option, ensure your protein powder is plant-based.
