Ingredients
  

1 ripe banana

1/2 cup frozen mango chunks

1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks

1 cup coconut milk (or any preferred milk)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp honey or agave syrup (optional for sweetness)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and peel the banana. If you prefer a colder smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes to the mix.

    Blend: In a blender, combine the banana, frozen mango and pineapple chunks, coconut milk, protein powder, chia seeds, and honey/agave syrup. If you're using ice, add it at this stage.

      Blend until Smooth: Blend on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and the smoothie reaches a creamy consistency. If it's too thick, add a splash more coconut milk and blend again.

        Add Shredded Coconut: Once blended, add the shredded coconut and pulse a few times to mix it in without completely pulverizing it, adding a delightful texture to your smoothie.

          Taste and Adjust: Taste your smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or agave syrup.

            Serve: Pour the smoothie into tall glasses, and if desired, top with a sprinkle of shredded coconut, a few slices of fresh fruit, or a mint leaf for garnish.

              Enjoy: Sip and enjoy your refreshing Tropical Paradise Protein Smoothie!
