Ingredients

2 tablespoons Shredded coconut

1 tablespoon White chocolate chips

1½ cups Unsweetened coconut milk

4 ounces Frozen strawberries

4 ounces Frozen pineapple

Directions

  1. Place the shredded coconut, white chocolate chips, and 1 cup of the coconut milk into a blender.

  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth, with no visible chunks of chocolate or coconut remaining.

  3. Add the frozen strawberries and frozen pineapple to the blender and blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

  4. Add the remaining ½ cup of coconut milk in small amounts while blending, adjusting until you reach a thick but pourable consistency.

  5. Taste the smoothie and blend in additional white chocolate chips if you prefer a sweeter flavor.

  6. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. Top with fresh strawberry slices and additional shredded coconut flakes as garnish if desired.

  7. Serve immediately while cold and creamy.

A genuinely fast weeknight pour-and-blend, though 5 minutes undersells the freezing step if you start with fresh fruit. Coconut milk and white chocolate are easy finds at Harris Teeter or Walmart, but the real cost driver is fresh pineapple and strawberries—at $3–5 per serving depending on season, this tilts toward a treat rather than a budget breakfast. Makes one drink, so batch it carefully if feeding a family, and it does not reheat. Best in late spring through early fall when Charlotte berries and tropical fruit overlap at the market and prices dip.
