Ingredients
  

1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)

1 ripe banana

1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Juice of 1/2 lime

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Ice cubes (optional, depending on desired thickness)

Fresh fruit and mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: If using fresh fruit, peel and chop the banana, pineapple, and mango. If you prefer a chilled smoothie, you can freeze the fruit beforehand.

    Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the coconut milk, banana, pineapple, mango, chia seeds, lime juice, and vanilla extract. If you like a colder smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes.

      Sweeten to Taste: Blend until smooth. Taste the mixture and if you prefer it sweeter, add honey or maple syrup and blend again briefly to combine.

        Let it Rest: Allow the smoothie to sit for about 5-10 minutes so the chia seeds can swell and thicken the consistency.

          Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into glasses. You can garnish with fresh fruit slices, a sprinkle of chia seeds, and a sprig of mint to enhance presentation.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately with a straw or a spoon, and enjoy the tropical vibes!
