Preferences: If you don’t like one of the fruits in this recipe, you may replace it with more of the other ingredients. Consistency: Sometimes, smoothies require a little more liquid to achieve a nice, drinkable consistency. If the smoothie seems too thick or if you prefer your smoothies thinner, add pineapple juice until you reach your preferred consistency. Fruit Substitutions: For variations on this smoothie, try swapping out portions of the fruit in the recipe card for other fruits. Some great additions would be strawberries, guava, dragon fruit, kiwi, passion fruit, or oranges. Protein Version: For added protein, coconut milk can be substituted with plain or vanilla Greek yogurt, or you can add your favorite vanilla protein powder! Nutrient add-ins: A small handful of chia seeds, flax seeds, and fresh spinach would provide a nice power boost of fiber and other nutrients for those looking for a little more in their smoothies.
