The coconut Greek yogurt is my favorite in this recipe I first tried it in a smoothie during a beach trip with my sister and it instantly transported us back to palm trees and sandy toes Now I always keep a container on hand for smoothie emergencies

Storage Tips

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh right after blending If you must store it pour into an airtight jar and refrigerate for up to one day Shake well before drinking since layers may separate

Ingredient Substitutions

If you are out of coconut Greek yogurt substitute regular Greek yogurt plus a dash of coconut extract You can also use any nondairy yogurt to keep it vegan No pineapple Swap for diced mango or extra strawberries for a different twist

Serving Suggestions

Serve in tall clear glasses for a show stopping brunch presentation Add a paper umbrella and a slice of pineapple or strawberry for flair For kids I like to pour into small jars with reusable straws so everyone has their own
