Instructions
- Blend: Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender, beginning with the frozen fruits for smooth blending. Blend until mixture is creamy and uniform.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the smoothie’s thickness; if too thick, pour in additional juice or coconut water and blend again. If too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend until desired thickness is reached.

- Use frozen fruits to achieve a cold, creamy texture without adding ice.
- Adjust sweetness and liquid amounts based on personal preference and fruit ripeness.
- For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Consuming immediately preserves the vibrant flavors and nutritional quality.
