Storage and reheating

  • Fridge: up to 1 days
  • Freezer: yes, up to 2 months
  • Do not reheat. Stir or blend again after chilling, and thaw frozen smoothie in the refrigerator before blending.

Ingredient substitutions

Pineapple

  • Frozen pineapple: Use frozen chunks for a colder and thicker cooler.

Coconut milk

  • Milk: Makes the drink less coconut forward and no longer dairy free.

Banana

  • Pineapple: Keeps the drink fruity but makes it brighter and less creamy.

Lime

  • Pineapple: Adds fruit sweetness but does not give the same sharp citrus lift.

Ice

  • Water: Use very cold water if ice is unavailable, but the cooler will be thinner.
