Scale
Fruits
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
Dairy & Milk
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
Sweeteners & Extras
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and slice the banana, and measure out the pineapple chunks. If using frozen fruit, no need to thaw unless your blender struggles.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the banana, pineapple, Greek yogurt, and almond milk into a blender. For added sweetness, include honey or maple syrup. For a chilled smoothie, add ice cubes.
- Blend Smoothly: Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy with no chunks remaining.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample your smoothie and add more sweetener or milk to reach your preferred taste and consistency.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy fresh for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
- Add a scoop of protein powder or a handful of spinach for extra nutrients.
- Using frozen banana or pineapple results in a thicker and colder smoothie texture.
