Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes or 1/2 cup coconut water

Optional Add-ins and Variations

  • 1 scoop protein powder (for protein power)
  • Almond or coconut yogurt (for dairy-free option)
  • 1/2 cup mango or papaya chunks (for tropical twist)
  • A pinch of ginger or turmeric (for spicy kick)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel the banana and cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks, ensuring they’re fresh for maximum flavor and nourishment.
  2. Blend the Fruits: Add the pineapple and banana pieces into a blender along with Greek yogurt and your choice of sweetener if you prefer it sweeter.
  3. Add Liquids and Ice: Pour in coconut water or add ice cubes to the blender to achieve the perfect cold and smooth texture.

Notes

  • Choose Ripe Fruits: Use ripe bananas and fresh pineapple for natural sweetness and optimal flavor.
  • Adjust Consistency: Add more coconut water to thin the smoothie or more yogurt/banana to thicken it.
  • Chill Your Glass: Serving in a chilled glass keeps your smoothie cooler longer and enhances refreshment.
  • Blend in Pulses: Blend in short bursts to preserve some texture if you prefer a chunkier smoothie.
  • Add a Dash of Citrus: A splash of lime or lemon juice can brighten the flavors and balance sweetness.
