02 - Add the frozen pineapple and ice cubes on top of the liquids.
03 - Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 30-45 seconds, until thick, creamy, and free of pineapple chunks.
04 - Taste the smoothie. Add more lime for brightness, more maple syrup for sweetness, or 1-2 tablespoons coconut water if it is too thick.
