Orange-Pineapple Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes Servings: 2
Ingredients
-
1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
-
1 large orange, peeled and segmented (plus extra slices for garnish)
-
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt)
-
1/2 cup orange juice (or pineapple juice for extra sweetness)
-
1 tablespoon chia seeds
-
1/2 cup ice (if using fresh fruit)
Instructions
-
Prepare: Peel your orange and break it into segments, removing as much of the white pith as possible.
-
Combine: Add the pineapple, orange segments, yogurt, juice, and chia seeds into a high-speed blender.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add a little more juice or water.
-
Serve: Pour into glasses. Garnish with a fresh orange slice on top for that beautiful presentation seen in your photo.
A Few Tips:
-
Boost the nutrition: Add a handful of spinach for a nutrient boost—the orange and pineapple are great at masking the flavor.
-
Make it creamier: Swap the juice for coconut milk to give it a more “piña colada” vibe.
-
Texture: If you prefer a thinner smoothie, just increase the amount of liquid.
