Pineapple and coconut are one of my favorite flavor combinations, but I love that you also added mangoes and dates. What a great recipe. Thanks for sharing!
I keep pineapple stocked in my pantry just for smoothies like this. Now, I need to head to the store to pick up unsweetened frozen coconut. It’s already hot here and I need this smoothie to feel rejuvenated in the morning.
Awesome smoothie recipe!!! This def has summer written all over it! Can’t wait to try it and thanks for sharing :).
Smoothies on repeat starting right now and this one is in the rotation as well. I love adding dates to my smoothies to sweeten them!
This looks so perfect for summer! I love ice cold smoothies as a special after dinner treat once it gets hot outside, and we love pineapple in our house!
I’m definitely going to try this for my post workout tomorrow! I have almond milk though so hopefully it won’t change too much. Thank you!
