This is a great tropical healthy smoothie that fills you up and can even be a meal replacement beverage. I love it. For thicker smoothie, add less milk.

This was not good. Don't know why as I like al the ingredients. Maybe the plant-based protein powder or frozen pineapple vs. fresh. There was this funky background taste I couldn't cover up. Tried adding more things to fix it but no-go. Read More

There's no need for a sweetener in this recipe a ripe (frozen) banana and pineapple are sweet enough on their own also not required if you use coconut milk that has been sweetened as well. Plain or vanilla Greek yogurt can also replace the protein powder and (raw shelled) hemp seeds can replace the flax seeds. Read More
