Put coconut milk, date syrup, mango, and frozen pineapple into a blender. Secure lid.
Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
Blend until smooth.
Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute.
Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.

Coconut milk from the carton gives this drink a creamy and thick texture. Avoid using canned coconut milk, which is too thick, or coconut water, which is too thin.
You can also use fresh pineapple and frozen mango. The flavor profile of the smoothie will be the same.
When using fresh mango, pick one that has red-yellow skin. Avoid green mangoes, which are unripe and too sour.
If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add a splash of coconut milk. Blend for another 10 seconds until fully combined.
Instead of date syrup, you can also use a Medjool date. If your blender is not very powerful, chop the date first.
Store leftover smoothie in airtight container, like a mason jar. Drink the smoothie within 1-2 days. If stored for longer, the texture and flavor won't be as good.
