Prep Time: 5 min   Cook Time: 0 min

Serves: 1

Ingredients

• Frozen pineapple chunks: 75 g / 2.6 oz / ½ cup

• Frozen mango: 75 g / 2.6 oz / ½ cup

• Unsweetened coconut milk (carton-style): 240 ml / 8 fl oz / 1 cup

• Vanilla whey protein powder: 30 g / 1.05 oz / 1 scoop

• Greek yogurt (plain, 2%): 100 g / 3.5 oz / ½ cup

• Chia seeds: 7 g / 0.25 oz / 2 tsp

• Honey or maple syrup: 5 g / 0.18 oz / 1 tsp (optional)

• Ice cubes: 4–5 (optional, for texture)

• Optional: splash of lime juice or vanilla extract for piña colada flavor

Directions

1. Add all ingredients to a blender in this order: coconut milk, yogurt, protein powder, fruit, chia seeds, and ice (if using).

2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add a splash more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.

3. Taste and adjust sweetness with honey or extra fruit, if needed.

4. Pour into a glass or shaker cup and enjoy immediately.

Meal Prep Instructions

• Prep Ahead: Portion mango and pineapple into freezer bags/containers (add chia seeds + protein powder if you like). In the morning, add liquid and blend.

• Storage: Best consumed fresh, but blended smoothies can be refrigerated up to 24 hours — shake or re-blend before drinking.

• Freezer Packs: Make 3–5 “smoothie packs” with all ingredients (except liquid and yogurt) and freeze up to 1 month.

Coach’s Tip

For that creamy piña colada vibe, blend longer — about 45–60 seconds. The extra air time makes it thick, frothy, and milkshake-like without added fat.
