Ingredients

  • ½ cup blueberries
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 20 ounces pineapple chunks with juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil finely minced
  • 1 medium banana peeled
  • 1 cup ice see note

Instructions

  • In a blender, puree the blueberries, coconut milk, pineapple chunks AND their juice and the coconut manna (or unsweetened coconut) until smooth.
  • If you are using frozen herb ice cubes, drop in 2-4 cubes. If you are using fresh basil, drop in 2 tablespoons.
  • Add 1 frozen banana (unless using fresh) and blend until smooth. (if using non-frozen banana - add 1 cup of ice and blend until smooth).
  • I did not add anything else to sweeten because the banana is sweet enough, but if you need something more, add 1 tablespoon of honey and blend.

Notes

Omit ice if basil and banana are frozen
