Method
 

  1. Place all smoothie ingredients into a blender.
  2. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Add more pineapple juice if the mixture is too thick for your preference.
  3. Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately.
  4. If you are making the optional granola, combine the oats, shredded coconut, and almonds in a bowl. In a separate small saucepan, melt the coconut oil, maple syrup, espresso, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract together over low heat until combined.
  5. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir, and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Stir in the honey after removing from the oven.
  7. Let the granola cool completely before breaking it into pieces. Top your smoothie with the granola if desired.
