This is one of our favorite smoothies, especially in the warm summer months. Most grocery stores carry coconut milk in the dairy section, but you can use almond milk if you prefer. Notice that we add cashew butter or tahini, which gives this smoothie an incredibly unique (and delicious) flavor.

Recipe Notes
Tip: If you have a powerful blender like a Vitamix, you can add a piece of the fresh pineapple core. The core has more nutrients than the fleshy part we normally eat.
Terminology: Tahini is a paste made from sesame seeds, similar to peanut butter. Most grocery stores carry it, alongside other nut butters.
