Tropical Pineapple Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes Servings: 2
Ingredients
-
2 cups frozen pineapple chunks (using frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice and makes it creamier)
-
1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla for a touch of sweetness)
-
1 cup pineapple juice (or coconut milk for a richer, more tropical flavor)
-
1/2 ripe banana (optional, adds extra creaminess)
-
Optional: A squeeze of lime juice or a small piece of fresh ginger for a zesty kick.
Instructions
-
Combine: Add the pineapple juice (or coconut milk) into your blender first—this helps the blades move smoothly.
-
Add Solids: Add the Greek yogurt, frozen pineapple chunks, and banana.
-
Blend: Start the blender on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 45–60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
-
Adjust: If it is too thick, add a splash more juice or milk. If you prefer it colder or thicker, add a few more frozen pineapple chunks.
-
Serve: Pour into glasses. For the look in your photo, garnish with a fresh pineapple wedge on the rim and add a colorful straw.
