Description
A refreshing tropical blend combining sweet pineapple and creamy banana with Greek yogurt for a nutritious, energizing beverage perfect for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 ripe banana, peeled
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup orange juice (optional)
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 4–5 ice cubes (if using fresh fruit)
- Optional Toppings
- Pineapple slices
- Chia seeds
- Shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients
- Peel and chop the pineapple and banana into smaller pieces if using fresh fruit. Having smaller pieces will help your blender create a smoother consistency and prevent chunks in your finished smoothie.
- Blend the ingredients
- Place the pineapple chunks, banana, Greek yogurt, coconut milk, orange juice (if using), and sweetener (if desired) into a blender. If you’re using fresh fruit rather than frozen, add 4-5 ice cubes to achieve a chilled, thicker texture.
- Blend until smooth
- Process on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a creamy, smooth consistency. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides if needed to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Serve immediately
- Pour the finished smoothie into a glass. Add your preferred toppings such as fresh pineapple slices, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or shredded coconut for added texture and nutritional benefits. Enjoy right away for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen fruit or add more ice.
- For added protein, consider adding a tablespoon of nut butter or a scoop of protein powder.
- To make this smoothie ahead of time, blend and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or additional coconut milk.
