We have a great local coffee place that makes these outstanding all fruit pineapple coconut smoothies but my wallet needs a break.

Because my daughter needs to be dairy free, I decided to make my own dairy free version.

Here is the winning recipe that accompanied my children’s dinner this evening. Children mentioned that it tasted even better than the local coffeehouse’s version-Win!!!

Dairy Free Pineapple Coconut Smoothie

1 Can Organic Coconut Milk

1 Small Banana (optional)

2 Cups Frozen Pineapple (if using fresh pineapple, use less coconut milk)

1/4 Cup Dehydrated, Shredded, Unsweetened Coconut

2 Tbs Chia Seed

Raw Turbinado Sugar (optional and to taste)

Place all ingredients in order listed. Fill blender with ice. Blend.

According to research and Navitas’ website, “Cacao has been consumed for its invigorating and healthy properties for generations in Mexican, Central and South American cultures. Cacao powder is one of the richest sources of immune-boosting antioxidants found in nature. It also provides important minerals including magnesium and iron. Separated from the oily cacao butter, cacao powder is also a concentrated form of healthy dietary fiber. All raw cacao products contain the unique alkaloid chemicals theobromine, phenylethylamine and anandamine that help you feel HAPPY.”

Not only is it healthy, but it is a tasty addition to any smoothie!
