Tropical Strawberry-Pineapple Smoothie

Tropical Strawberry-Pineapple Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups Fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)

• 1 cup Fresh pineapple chunks (frozen works great for a thicker texture)

• 1 medium Banana (frozen for extra creaminess)

• ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

• 1 cup Coconut milk or almond milk

• 1 tbsp Honey or agave nectar (optional, depending on fruit sweetness)

• Ice cubes (as needed for desired consistency)

• Garnish: A strawberry slice and a small pineapple wedge

Instructions

1. Prep the Fruit: Start by washing your strawberries and removing the green stems. If you are using fresh pineapple, peel and core it before cutting it into bite-sized chunks.

2. Layer the Blender: To ensure a smooth blend, add your liquid base (coconut or almond milk) first. Follow this with the Greek yogurt, then the strawberries, pineapple, and banana. Adding liquids first prevents the fruit from getting stuck at the bottom.

3. Blend: Secure the lid and blend on high for 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and has a beautiful pink hue. If the smoothie is too thick, splash in a little more milk; if it’s too thin, add a handful of ice and blend again.

4. Taste Test: Give it a quick taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add your honey or agave and pulse for another 5 seconds.

5. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. Mimic the photo by sliding a notched strawberry and a pineapple wedge onto the rim. Drink immediately while chilled!
