Chef tips
For an even colder texture without watering down the smoothie, freeze part of the pineapple cubes for 1 hour before blending. Toasting the zest changes the aroma and gives a deeper note without making the recipe complicated.
Substitutions
You can swap the coconut yogurt for almond-based plant yogurt if you do not need to avoid tree nuts, or use more coconut milk beverage for a thinner version. Mint can be replaced with fresh basil for a more herbal profile.
