Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and cut into pieces
Dairy & Liquid
- 1/2 cup natural or vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk (cow’s milk, almond, coconut, etc.)
Sweetener & Extras
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional, adjust to desired sweetness)
- Ice cubes to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the fresh pineapple into small chunks to ensure smooth blending and even flavor distribution.
- Peel and Cut Banana: Peel the ripe banana and cut it into smaller pieces to facilitate easier blending and a creamy texture.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the chopped pineapple, banana pieces, yogurt, and milk to prepare the base of the smoothie.
- Add Sweetener: Add honey or sugar according to your taste preference to enhance the natural fruit sweetness if desired.
- Add Ice Cubes: Include ice cubes to chill the smoothie and create a cooler, thicker texture for a refreshing drink.
- Blend: Process all the ingredients at high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and homogeneous, ensuring the perfect creamy consistency.
- Adjust Thickness: For a thicker smoothie, add more frozen fruit or a scoop of ice cream, then blend again until smooth.
- Serve: Pour the finished smoothie into tall glasses and serve immediately to enjoy optimal freshness and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute cow’s milk with almond, coconut, or any other milk alternative based on preference or dietary needs.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or sugar, or omit it for a naturally sweet taste.
- Adding frozen fruit instead of ice cubes will make the smoothie thicker and colder without diluting the flavor.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and milk options and replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Clean the blender promptly after use to prevent residue buildup and stains.
