Strawberry Pineapple Breakfast Smoothie
This recipe yields approximately two servings.
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (hulled)
1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
1/2 cup milk of your choice (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
1/2 cup ice (optional, if using fresh fruit)
1/4 cup granola (for the topping)
Optional: A drizzle of honey or agave if you prefer extra sweetness.
Instructions:
Prep: If your fruit is fresh, wash the strawberries and peel/core the pineapple. If you are using frozen fruit, you can skip adding extra ice.
Blend: Add the strawberries, pineapple, yogurt, and milk into a high-speed blender.
Process: Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add a little more milk; if it’s too thin, add a few more pieces of frozen fruit or a handful of ice.
Assemble: Pour the smoothie into two glasses.
Garnish: Top generously with your favorite granola. For that perfect presentation, garnish the rim of each glass with a fresh strawberry and a small triangle of pineapple.
Pro-Tips for the Best Smoothie:
Freeze your fruit: Using frozen strawberries or pineapple helps create a thick, “milkshake-like” texture without needing to add extra ice, which can sometimes dilute the flavor.
Make it protein-packed: If you want this to keep you full longer, feel free to add a tablespoon of chia seeds, flax seeds, or a scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder to the blender.
