½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
3 cups RIPE, fresh pineapple, cut into 2-inch
pieces
1 cup coconut sorbet
1 cup frozen pineapple, cut into ½-inch
pieces
6 ice cubes

and frozen pineapple together into the blender jar.
2.
Blend on High until well blended, about 45 seconds.
With blender running, remove measured pour lid
from the blender cover and add ice cubes, one at
a time.
3. Drink may be slightly thin, so it is also great over
ice.
