Step-by-Step Instructions

A 5-minute tropical escape in a glass.

01

Add liquids first

Pour coconut water and coconut milk into the blender. Adding liquids first helps the blades spin freely and prevents air pockets.

02

Layer frozen fruits

Add frozen mango, pineapple, and banana on top of the liquids. The frozen fruit creates a thick, creamy texture without needing ice.

03

Blend until smooth

Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until creamy and smooth. If too thick, add a splash more coconut water. If too thin, add more frozen fruit.

04

Taste and adjust

Add more lime juice for tang, honey for sweetness, or chia seeds for extra thickness. Blend again briefly to incorporate.
