# How-To Steps:
01 - In a small skillet over medium-low heat, combine shredded coconut, sliced almonds, and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with coconut oil and maple syrup. Stir constantly for 3–4 minutes until golden and fragrant. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt, then transfer to a plate to cool completely.
02 - Combine frozen pineapple, frozen banana, coconut milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and chia seeds in a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and thick, adding a splash more coconut milk only if necessary to reach desired consistency.

# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It tricks your brain into thinking you are on a beach even if you are just eating it in your pajamas.
- The toasted coconut crunch on top saves the entire bowl from being a sad, cold mush.
02 -
- If you add too much liquid trying to blend it, you will end up with soup instead of a spoonable bowl.
- The toasted mixture burns fast, so do not walk away from the stove or you will ruin the nutty flavor.
03 -
- Let the blender run a bit longer than you think to aerate the mixture.
- Use a tamper tool to move the frozen chunks around without adding water.
