Ever find yourself dreaming of a tropical getaway but stuck at home? Me too! That's where this Coconut Pineapple Power Lassi comes in. It's like a mini-vacation in a glass, bursting with sunny flavors and packed with good-for-you ingredients. One of my friends, Sarah, recently told me about her struggles to find a healthy breakfast option that actually tastes good, and I immediately thought of this lassi. It’s sweet, creamy, and oh-so-satisfying, making it the perfect way to start your day or enjoy as a refreshing afternoon treat. Plus, it's super easy to make – you just toss everything into a blender and whiz it up! What does this mean for you? It means a healthier, happier, and tastier you!
But what exactly makes this lassi so 'powerful'? Well, pineapple is loaded with vitamin C and bromelain, which is great for digestion. Coconut milk provides healthy fats and a creamy texture that's just heavenly. And yogurt, whether you choose dairy or a plant-based alternative, adds probiotics for gut health. Combine all of that with a touch of honey for sweetness and cardamom for warmth, and you've got a drink that not only tastes amazing but also nourishes your body from the inside out. I know it sounds too good to be true, but trust me, it's real!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup of frozen pineapple chunks, 1/2 cup of plain yogurt (dairy or non-dairy), 1/2 cup of coconut milk (canned, full-fat for extra creaminess), 1 tablespoon of shredded coconut, 1 tablespoon of honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option), and a pinch of ground cardamom.
- Roughly chop the pineapple if the chunks are too large for your blender. This helps ensure a smooth and even blend.
- Add the frozen pineapple chunks to your blender.
- Measure and add the yogurt to the blender. If you're using Greek yogurt, it will make the lassi extra thick and creamy!
- Pour in the coconut milk. Make sure to shake the can well before opening to combine the thicker cream with the liquid. Mmm, the smell is amazing, right?
- Sprinkle in the shredded coconut. This adds a lovely texture and enhances the coconut flavor.
- Drizzle in the honey (or maple syrup). Start with one tablespoon and adjust to your liking after tasting.
- Add a pinch of ground cardamom. This spice adds a warm, aromatic note that complements the tropical flavors beautifully. Trust me on this one!
- Close the blender lid securely and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender. Listen for any ice chunks still swirling around – you want it perfectly smooth.
- Taste the lassi and adjust the sweetness as needed. Add more honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter, or a squeeze of lime juice for a bit of tang.
- Pour the lassi into a glass. Isn't it vibrant and inviting? I love it!
- Garnish with a sprinkle of shredded coconut and a small pineapple wedge. A sprig of mint can also add a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Coconut Pineapple Power Lassi! Trust me; you'll want more.
📝 Notes
- For an extra creamy lassi, use frozen pineapple and full-fat coconut milk.
- Adjust the amount of honey/maple syrup to your preference.
- Garnish with shredded coconut and a pineapple wedge for a tropical touch.
