Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Pineapple chunks
Banana
Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
Milk or plant-based milk
Honey or maple syrup (optional)
Ice cubes
Directions
I start by adding the pineapple chunks and banana to the blender. I pour in the yogurt and milk, then add ice cubes for a colder, thicker texture.
If the pineapple isn’t very sweet, I add a small amount of honey or maple syrup. I blend everything until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy.
If the smoothie is too thick, I add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, I add more ice or frozen fruit. I pour it into a glass and enjoy it immediately.
Servings And Timing
This recipe makes about 2 servings.
Preparation takes around 5 minutes, and there is no cooking involved.
Variations
I sometimes add mango for a tropical twist or coconut milk for extra richness. When I want more protein, I mix in protein powder or extra yogurt. I also enjoy adding a squeeze of lime juice for a brighter flavor.
Storage/Reheating
I prefer drinking this smoothie fresh. If needed, I store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and give it a good shake or quick blend before drinking. I don’t reheat smoothies.
