Tropical Banana-Pineapple Smoothie
This recipe yields a creamy, vibrant smoothie that balances the sweetness of the fruit with a bright, citrus kick.
Ingredients
-
1 cup frozen pineapple chunks (using frozen fruit makes it much creamier!)
-
1 medium banana (ripe, peeled and sliced)
-
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
-
1/4 cup pineapple juice (or water/coconut water for a lighter drink)
-
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
-
Optional: A small handful of ice cubes if you prefer a thicker, colder texture.
Instructions
-
Prep: Place the banana, frozen pineapple, yogurt, pineapple juice, and lime juice into a blender.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, add a splash more juice or liquid until you reach your desired consistency.
-
Serve: Pour into glasses.
-
Garnish: For that professional touch, garnish the rim of your glass with a fresh slice of pineapple and a round slice of banana, just like in the photo. Enjoy immediately!
