Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
- Before blending, measure out all the fresh and frozen ingredients to ensure a smooth process. If using fresh fruit instead of frozen, add a few extra ice cubes to keep the smoothie cold and thick.
Step 2: Blend Until Smooth
- In a high-speed blender, add the frozen strawberries, pineapple, banana, and white chocolate chips (if using).
- Pour in the coconut milk and orange juice, which will help create a silky texture.
- Add ice cubes to thicken the smoothie and keep it extra refreshing.
- Blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If needed, scrape down the sides and blend again to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Step 3: Adjust and Serve
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of orange juice or coconut milk and blend again.
- If it’s too thin, toss in a few more frozen strawberries or ice cubes to thicken it up.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding a drizzle of honey or agave if desired.
