How to make it
Wash fresh produce unless labeled ready-to-eat. Remove pits, hard seeds, or peel as needed, and cut large pieces to suit your blender.
Add the liquid first, then softer ingredients and fruit. Add frozen pieces gradually if your blender struggles.
Blend until smooth. Stop the blender before scraping or stirring, and add a little liquid if the mixture is too thick.
Taste before adding optional sweetener or extra citrus. Divide into glasses and serve.

Short FAQ
What should I check before starting?
Taste before adding lime; pineapple may already give enough acidity. Add frozen fruit gradually if your blender struggles.
Can I change an ingredient?
Plain water can replace coconut water. Use less banana for a lighter texture, or add yogurt for a tangier, creamier drink.
