Notes
The nutrition values are based on using full-fat coconut milk.
Coconut Milk: Canned is best in terms of flavor. Either low-fat or full-fat canned coconut milk works in this smoothie recipe.
Pineapple: Fresh or frozen bananas or pineapple can be used. I do not recommend canned pineapple.
Kale: Feel free to use spinach in place of kale. And baby kale is best--it breaks down easier.
