The Raw Truth

Tropical Ambrosia

This piña colada–style smoothie is a delicious tropical drink. Pineapples are propagated by planting the top crown. A few years later, a new

pineapple grows out of the center of the crown of the old one.

SERVES 1 OR 2

1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and chopped

1 cup fresh, finely chopped coconut meat

4 bananas, peeled, frozen, and thickly sliced

Process the pineapple through a juicer into a large measuring cup (you should have about 2 cups). Reserve the pineapple flesh for making Fruit
Rawies. Place the pineapple juice, coconut, and bananas in a blender and blend until smooth. Serve in a tall glass.
