Blueberry & Pineapple Smoothie
Such an easy and delicious smoothie to prepare. Pineapples make an incredible smoothie base, a fantastic option for those who dont like bananas! Pineapples add a delicious tropical sweetness, and if you dont quite enjoy the often sickly sweetness of pines, frozen pines are for you! Frozen pineapple’s acidity and sweetness is radically toned down when frozen. I enjoy using coconut milk or water with pineapple as coconut and pineapple is just so good together!
Ingredients
Serves 1
1 cup Frozen Pineapple Chunks
1 cup Frozen Blueberries
Dash Coconut Milk (or Coconut Water for a low fat option)

Method
1. Using either your food processor/nutri bullet/stick blender blitz together your smoothie ingredients, adding as much liquid as you prefer. Test the sweetness and adjust sweetness by adding more pines if it needs a bit extra.
2. If the blender blade gets stuck and wont blend, stop and scrape down or mix ingredients with a spoon and repeat blending. Sometimes the mix needs a little bit of coaxing to finish blending. If it’s really struggling add a bit more liquid. If you have gone too far with adding liquid, remember you can always stiffen it up again by placing a bit more frozen fruit into the mix.
3. Place in a bowl and top any suitable toppings and serve immediately.
