02 - ½ cup full-fat coconut milk, chilled
03 - 1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen
04 - 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder

# How-To Steps:

01 - Combine frozen pineapple chunks, chilled coconut milk, frozen banana slices, matcha powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to achieve a thick, scoopable consistency.
02 - Pour the blended mixture into two serving bowls, using a spoon to smooth the surface evenly.
03 - Artfully arrange diced fresh pineapple, coconut flakes, almond clusters, chia seeds, and granola across the surface of each bowl.
04 - Top with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately while cold and creamy.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The matcha gives you a gentle caffeine lift without the coffee jitters, which honestly changed my entire morning routine.
  • It looks like something from a tropical cafe but comes together in about the same time as toast.
02 -
  • If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the pineapple sit out for three minutes before blending rather than adding extra liquid.
  • Matcha clings to the sides of the blender more than you expect, so always scrape twice and taste before pouring.
03 -
  • Freeze your banana slices flat on a plate for an hour before making this so they blend evenly instead of jamming the blade.
  • Chill the coconut milk can in the refrigerator overnight so the thicker cream portion blends into the smoothie rather than separating.
