Coconut Banana Smoothie with Pineapple and Peach
Taste
Sweet and tropical, juicy pineapple and peach over creamy banana with a gentle coconut note.
About this smoothie
Pineapple and coconut are best known together from the Piña Colada, but they work just as well without alcohol. Banana adds creaminess, pineapple acidity and juice, and half a ripe peach a fragrant, soft sweetness. Pineapple contains vitamin C, peach a little beta carotene. The teaspoon of coconut oil supplies the coconut aroma; as it is mostly saturated fat, a small amount is enough. A cheerful, fruity glass for breakfast or a warm afternoon.
Bartender tips
Coconut oil sets when cold; melt it gently and blend it with the room temperature ingredients first, so it does not form small flakes.
Canned peaches work outside the season; drain them well.
Variations
Colada style
Replace the water with 100 ml coconut milk and 50 ml pineapple juice for a creamy, alcohol free colada.
