Method
 

  1. Slice the banana if using fresh fruit.
  2. Add coconut milk, banana, pineapple chunks, and ice cubes to the blender.
  3. Add honey or maple syrup if you like a sweeter smoothie.
  4. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30–60 seconds.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Blend again briefly if you added more sweetener.

Notes

You can substitute other sweeteners or skip sweetener altogether for a lower calorie option.
For an extra-cold smoothie, use all frozen fruit and omit the ice.
Add a handful of spinach for a green boost without changing the flavor much.
