- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions
- Add the avocado, frozen pineapple, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes to a blender.

- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.
- If the milkshake is too thick, add a splash of extra milk and blend again.

Notes
- Frozen pineapple creates the thickest and creamiest texture.
- Use coconut milk or almond milk for a dairy-free version.
- A ripe avocado provides the smoothest consistency without a strong avocado flavor.
- Add banana or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and sweetness.
- Lime juice adds a bright citrus flavor that pairs well with pineapple.
- This milkshake is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
- Blend in protein powder or chia seeds for a more filling smoothie-style drink.
