- 3/4 cup canned coconut milk (or any milk)
- 1 Tbsp raw honey

Notes
- Using frozen pineapple and frozen cauliflower helps create a chilled and creamy smoothie without needing ice.
- Collagen peptides add protein and support skin and joint health but can be omitted for a vegan-friendly version.
- Raw honey provides natural sweetness; adjust quantity to taste or substitute with maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
- Steaming then freezing the cauliflower helps soften it and improve the smoothie’s texture.
- The lime juice brightens the flavors and adds a refreshing citrus note.
