Healthy High-Calorie Smoothie
Servings: 1
This healthy high calorie smoothie is creamy, naturally sweet, and designed to help you increase calories in a simple, enjoyable way. Frozen pineapple and banana create a thick, tropical base, while full-fat coconut milk and coconut flakes add healthy fats for extra richness and staying power.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple frozen
- 1 banana frozen
- 1 cup coconut milk full-fat, chilled
- ΒΌ cup pineapple juice chilled
- 1 serving whey protein isolate
- 1 tablespoon raw coconut flakes optional
Instructions
- Pour coconut milk and pineapple juice into the blender. Starting with liquids helps everything blend smoothly.
- Add pineapple and banana. Also, add your preferred protein powder to boost nutrition and make the smoothie more satisfying and energy-dense.
- Blend everything until smooth and milkshake-like. Pour into a glass and enjoy.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness to taste: The banana and pineapple provide natural sweetness, but you can add a little extra pineapple juice if you prefer a sweeter, more tropical flavor.
- Play with texture: For a thicker, creamier smoothie, you can freeze bananas and pineapple beforehand instead of using fresh.
- Boost richness: Using full-fat coconut milk brands already adds creaminess and calories, but you can slightly increase it for an even more filling, milkshake-like flavor.
