🛒 What You’ll Need
| Ingredient | Job | Amount |

Real talk: Canned coconut milk makes the smoothie ridiculously rich. Light version works if you watch calories… but why dampen the party? 😉

❓ Lightning-Round FAQ
Can I meal-prep it?
Blend everything but ice; refrigerate 24 hrs, shake, add ice, slam.
Fresh vs. frozen fruit?
Frozen rules for thickness and convenience. Fresh works—just add extra ice.
Coconut milk too heavy?
Use coconut water or almond milk; flavor stays beachy, texture lightens.
