Fruity Tropical Pineapple-Coconut Smoothie
Caribbean vibes in a glass: this tropical smoothie blends juicy pineapple, sun-ripened mango and refreshing coconut water into a fruity, creamy treat. A squeeze of lime adds a zingy freshness, while cashews and coconut milk give it a velvety texture. It's a naturally energising way to start your day.

How this is calculated
Target amount = ingredient amount × target servings ÷ base servings. The result is then rounded for kitchen use: from 100 g or ml to the nearest 5, between 1 and 99 to the nearest 1, pieces and spoons to half units, amounts below one unit to quarters, thirds or halves. Teaspoons and tablespoons also go down to an eighth, kilograms and litres stay finer.
Total = value per serving × target servings. The value per serving is unchanged, because ingredient amount and serving count change by the same factor.

- European Commission, Guidance document for competent authorities for the control of compliance with EU food law, setting of tolerances for nutrient values declared on a label, December 2012.
Nutrition values are estimates from the recipe record, not laboratory results. Even for checked labels the EU sets tolerances: for fat, protein and carbohydrates 20 percent in the range of 10 to 40 g per 100 g, and 2 g per 100 g below that. Home cooking varies more, because variety, size and cooking loss of the ingredients differ. Kitchen rounding also shifts the total slightly against the plain rule of three. Anyone who has to keep amounts exact for medical reasons, for example during a nutrition therapy prescribed by a doctor, should discuss them with a doctor or a registered dietitian.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?
Fruit smoothies taste best freshly made. Drink it right after blending, as the flavour and freshness fade quickly.
Can I swap the coconut water for something else?
Yes, you can use plain water or orange juice instead. The tropical flavour will just be a little milder.
Is this smoothie suitable for children?
Yes, it's made with only natural ingredients and no additives, so it works well for kids too.
How can I make the smoothie even creamier?
Use frozen pineapple or mango instead of fresh fruit, or add a little extra coconut milk.
