Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (about half a small pineapple or 1 can of pineapple in juice)

1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped

1 ripe banana

1 cup coconut water (or regular water)

1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, based on sweetness preference)

A handful of fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Ice cubes (optional, adjust based on desired thickness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and chopping the cucumber and pineapple. If using a fresh pineapple, extract the chunks from the core.

    Blend Everything Together: In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks, chopped cucumber, banana, coconut water, lime juice, and honey (if using). Add a handful of ice cubes if you prefer a colder, thicker smoothie.

      Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until all ingredients are well-combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more coconut water or regular water to reach your desired consistency.

        Taste and Adjust: Give your smoothie a quick taste. If you like it sweeter, add a little more honey or maple syrup and blend again.

          Serve: Pour the smoothie into tall glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a small slice of cucumber or pineapple on the rim for flair.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing and hydrating Pineapple Cucumber Smoothie!
