Sweet and juicy, with tangy pineapple, mellow peach and a creamy banana body.
About this smoothie
This smoothie combines three sweet fruits with different strengths: banana for creaminess, pineapple for tangy juice and peach for a soft, floral aroma. The coconut oil is optional and adds richness rather than a strong coconut flavour.
Pineapple provides vitamin C and contains the enzyme bromelain, which is why it can make dairy taste bitter if left standing; this version uses water, so that is not an issue. A fruity smoothie for breakfast or a warm afternoon.
Bartender tips
Coconut oil sets in cold water and can leave small flecks; soften it first and blend it with the liquid before adding the rest, or leave it out.
Frozen pineapple chunks give a colder, slushier texture.
Variations
Coconut water version
Use coconut water instead of water and skip the oil for a lighter coconut note.
