Pineapple Coconut High-Calorie Smoothie
Servings: 1
Like all my high-calorie smoothies, this one blends frozen pineapple and banana with full-fat coconut milk and a splash of pineapple juice until thick and tropical. A scoop of protein powder and a sprinkle of coconut flakes bring it to about 664 calories a glass.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple frozen
- 1 banana frozen
- 1 cup coconut milk full-fat, chilled
- ¼ cup pineapple juice chilled
- 1 serving whey protein isolate
- 1 tablespoon raw coconut flakes optional
Instructions
- Pour the coconut milk and pineapple juice into a blender. Add the pineapple, banana and protein powder.
- Blend until smooth and milkshake-like. Pour into a glass, sprinkle with coconut flakes if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Coconut Milk: Shake the can well before measuring, since the cream separates.
- Make It Thicker: Use frozen banana and pineapple for a milkshake-like texture. Keep ripe bananas on hand with this guide to freezing bananas.
- Vegan Swap: Use a vanilla plant-based protein powder in place of the whey.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The coconut milk firms up as it chills, so shake well before drinking.
