Berry-Pineapple Glow Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1
Ingredients
-
Frozen Blueberries: 1/2 cup (gives it ๊ทธ deep purple hue)
-
Fresh or Frozen Strawberries: 1/2 cup
-
Pineapple Chunks: 1/2 cup (fresh or canned in juice)
-
Greek Yogurt: 1/2 cup (plain or vanilla for creaminess)
-
Milk of choice: 1/2 cup to 1 cup (almond, oat, or dairy work great)
-
Honey or Maple Syrup: 1 tsp (optional, for extra sweetness)
-
Ice: A handful (if using fresh fruit instead of frozen)
Instructions
-
Layer your blender: Start by pouring in your liquid (milk) and yogurt first. This helps the blades spin freely without getting stuck on the frozen fruit.
-
Add the fruit: Toss in the strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple chunks.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45โ60 seconds until the texture is completely smooth and velvety.
-
Adjust consistency: If itโs too thick, splash in a little more milk. If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen berries or ice cubes.
-
Garnish: Pour into a glass and top with a fresh strawberry slice, a blueberry, and a small pineapple wedge to match your photo!
Pro Tips for the Best Texture
-
Use Frozen Fruit: Using frozen berries instead of ice keeps the flavor concentrated and makes the smoothie much thicker.
-
Nutrient Boost: Feel free to toss in a tablespoon of chia seeds or ground flaxseeds; they won’t change the flavor but will add a nice boost of fiber.
