TIPS
- For Chilled Texture: Use frozen pineapple for a thicker and chilled texture without the need for ice.
- Layering Matters: Add coconut water and yoghurt first to help the protein powder blend evenly.
- Garnish Simply: A mint sprig or coconut shaving adds flair with minimal effort.
- Flavour Balance: If the pineapple is too tart, add a slice of banana or a date for subtle sweetness.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Version: Use coconut or soy yoghurt and plant-based protein powder.
- Green Boost: Add a handful of spinach for extra iron and fibre without changing the taste.
- Nutty Version: Blend in a teaspoon of almond or cashew butter for added richness.
- Citrus Twist: A splash of lime juice enhances the tropical flavour and freshness.
- Chia Topper: Sprinkle with chia seeds for crunch, omega-3s and prolonged satiety.
