🥭 Ingredients:

1 banana (adds natural sweetness and smoothness)

Shredded coconut for garnish (optional, but highly recommended!)
🥥 Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
-
If using fresh fruit, peel and cut the mango, pineapple, and banana into small chunks.

If using frozen fruit, you may need less ice for a thicker consistency.
Step 2: Blend Until Smooth

In a blender, add mango, pineapple, banana, coconut milk, and ice cubes.
-
Blend on high speed for 30–60 seconds, or until the smoothie is thick, creamy, and fully blended.
Step 3: Taste and Adjust
-
If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
-
If it's too thick, add a splash of coconut milk to thin it out.
Step 4: Serve and Garnish
-
Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass.
-
Sprinkle shredded coconut on top for extra tropical flavor.

Optionally, garnish with a pineapple slice or a sprig of mint for a beautiful presentation.
