Notes

Storage Directions
  • Refrigerating: Keep the smoothie covered in the refrigerator for 1 day.
  • Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the smoothie in a silicone ice cube or storage tray. Once solid, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months. 
  • Defrosting: Thaw the smoothie cubes in the refrigerator overnight or blend them with a splash of coconut water in a high-speed blender until smooth. 
Recipe Pro-Tips
  • Use ripe produce: Sweet and juicy pineapple and soft and creamy avocados work best for a silky smooth texture and delicious flavor!
  • Blender options: If you have one, a high-speed blender is best for this avocado smoothie recipe. A traditional blender can work, though you may need to omit the dried coconut (adding more coconut water instead).
  • Adjust the thickness: For a thinner smoothie, add an extra splash (or two) of water or coconut water. For a thicker sipper—or smoothie bowl—start with a scant 1/2 cup of liquid and add more as needed.
  • Mind the order: If your blender tends to strain or overheat, add liquids first, followed by shredded coconut, avocado, and pineapple.
