Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • A handful of spinach or kale (for green boost)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon almond or peanut butter
  • Pinch of ginger or turmeric
  • Replace almond milk with coconut milk (for creamy coconut variation)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel and slice the ripe banana, cut fresh pineapple into chunks, and gather your other ingredients. Make sure liquids and yogurt are ready for blending.
  2. Add Ingredients to Blender: Start by adding the almond milk or preferred liquid base, followed by banana, pineapple chunks, Greek yogurt, and any optional sweeteners or seeds you want.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed for about 30-60 seconds until the mixture is creamy and smooth with no chunks remaining.
  4. Check Consistency and Taste: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again. Taste for sweetness and adjust with honey or maple syrup if needed.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour into your favorite glass or travel cup and enjoy fresh for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use frozen pineapple for a thicker, colder smoothie without adding ice.
  • Choose ripe bananas for sweeter and more flavorful results.
  • Balance sweetness naturally by relying on fruit ripeness before adding extra sweeteners.
  • Include yogurt or protein powder to help keep you full longer and support muscle recovery.
  • Start blending with liquids first to protect blender blades and ensure smooth mixing.
