2½ cups coconut water ice cubes- note, this is the approximate amount from one young coconut. Freeze in an ice cube tray for a few hours. For a breakfast smoothie, begin freezing the cubes the night before.
(optional- 1 Tbsp. coconut milk or the meat from one young coconut)
Instructions
If you are using a young coconut instead of packaged coconut water, please see my post on how to prepare a young coconut.
Core and cut a fresh pineapple into cubes. Use 2½ cups for the smoothie and freeze the rest or use it for another recipe.
Put the pineapple, then the coconut water ice cubes in a food processor or a high-speed blender such as a Vitamix.
If you are using one of the optional ingredients (1 Tbsp. coconut milk or the meat from one young coconut) add it to the blender. Either of the optional ingredients will add saturated coconut fat, but also make a smoothie that stays in one layer without separating as it melts.
Blend.
