Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure your frozen fruits are ready to use straight from the freezer for optimal texture and chill.
Combine Fruits and Liquid: In a high-speed blender, add the frozen peaches, pineapple, and mango first, then pour in the unsweetened coconut milk to help blend smoothly.

Notes

Use frozen fruit to achieve a chilled, thick smoothie without ice.
For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
Adjust ginger quantity based on your preferred spice level.
Adding chia seeds boosts fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, but is optional.
For added protein, choose your preferred collagen peptides or a plant-based protein powder.
Drink immediately after blending to preserve freshness and nutrient content.
