Tropical Sunshine Smoothie

Ingredients

  • 1 medium banana (frozen slices work best for a thicker texture)

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks

  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (adjust for your preferred thickness)

  • Optional: A drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness.


Instructions

  1. Prep the Fruit: If you aren’t using pre-frozen fruit, slice the banana and chop the mango and pineapple into small cubes.

  2. Layer the Blender: Add the liquid (almond milk) first to help the blades move easily. Then, add the yogurt, followed by the banana, mango, and pineapple.

  3. Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

  4. Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk. If it’s too thin, add a few more pieces of frozen fruit or a couple of ice cubes.

  5. Serve: Pour into a tall glass and enjoy immediately.

Quick Tips for the Best Result

  • Natural Sweetness: Use a very ripe banana (with a few brown spots) to get the most natural sweetness without needing added sugar.

  • Texture: Using at least one frozen fruit (like the banana or mango) gives the smoothie a “soft-serve” consistency similar to the one in your photo.
