The inspiration for this smoothie came to me on a hot summer day when I was craving something refreshing and tropical. I had some frozen pineapple and coconut milk on hand, and I thought, "Why not make a smoothie?" I added a few other ingredients to the blender, and the result was this delicious and refreshing smoothie. I've been making it ever since, and it's always a hit with my friends and family.
