Ingredients

• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 cup pineapple (fresh or frozen)
• 1/4 cup yogurt (plain or Greek)
• 1 teaspoon hemp seeds (optional)
• 1 Medjool date (or another sweetener of choice)
• 1 cup ice

Directions

1. Blend the Ingredients:
   In a high-speed blender, combine all the ingredients—coconut milk, pineapple, yogurt, hemp seeds (if using), Medjool date, and ice.
2. Blend Until Smooth:
   Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If needed, stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure everything blends evenly.
3. Adjust the Sweetness:
   Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more dates or a sweetener of your choice.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
   Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately, or store it in the refrigerator if you prefer it chilled for later.

Tips for Success:

• Sweetness Options: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add an extra Medjool date, a drizzle of honey, or a sweetener of your choice.
• Frozen Pineapple: Using frozen pineapple will give the smoothie a thicker, creamier consistency, perfect for warm days!
• Optional Add-Ins: Hemp seeds provide an added boost of healthy fats and protein, but feel free to leave them out or substitute with chia seeds or flaxseeds.
