Tropical Pineapple-Banana Smoothie

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Frozen pineapple chunks (for that thick, frosty texture)

  • 1 large Ripe banana (preferably frozen for extra creaminess)

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or coconut milk (for the smooth base)

  • ½ cup Orange juice or coconut water (to help it blend)

  • A pinch of Turmeric or Cinnamon (gives it those golden flecks seen in the photo)

  • Optional: 1 teaspoon of honey or agave if you prefer it extra sweet.

Instructions

  1. Layer the Blender: Start by pouring your liquid (juice or coconut water) into the blender first. This helps the blades move more efficiently.

  2. Add the Solids: Add the yogurt, frozen pineapple, and banana.

  3. The “Golden” Touch: Sprinkle in your pinch of turmeric or cinnamon. This adds depth to the color and a subtle warmth to the flavor.

  4. Blend: Pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more liquid; if too thin, add a few more frozen pineapple chunks.

  5. Garnish like the Photo:

    • Slice two small rounds of pineapple and notch them to sit on the rim.

    • Top with fresh banana slices.

    • Finish with a light dusting of ground cinnamon or flax seeds for those beautiful brown speckles.

Pro-Tip for Texture

To get that “whipped” look from the image, make sure at least one of your fruits is frozen. If you use all fresh fruit, add ½ cup of ice to achieve that thick, frosty consistency.
