Add the frozen banana slices, fresh spearmint leaves, coconut milk, honey, ice cubes, and fresh pineapple chunks to a blender.
Blend on high speed for 60-90 seconds, until the mixture is completely smooth and no ice chunks remain.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately while cold and frothy.
Comments
All six ingredients are available at any major Charlotte chain, though spearmint is the hinge point—Harris Teeter and Kroger carry it year-round in the produce section, but it's inconsistent at Food Lion and Walmart, so you may need to call ahead or make a second stop during off-season. Cost per serving lands around $2.00 to $2.50, driven primarily by coconut milk and fresh pineapple, which is reasonable for a breakfast drink. The stated five minutes is honest for blending once ingredients are gathered, though peeling and chunking the pineapple adds another 3–4 minutes if you're starting with a whole one. This is a same-night drink with no reheating value, and while it works fine as a light breakfast for two, it offers no leftovers and is best consumed immediately.
