Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1 cup frozen chopped pineapple
- 1 cup frozen chopped mango
- 1 frozen peeled, sliced banana
Liquids
- 1 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
- ½ cup coconut water
- ½ cup orange juice
- ½ cup pineapple juice
Sweetener (Optional)
- Sweetener to taste (such as honey, agave, or sugar)
Instructions
- Blend – Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender, starting with the frozen fruit to ensure smooth blending. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Consistency – Check the smoothie thickness. If it is too thick, gradually add more orange juice or coconut water and blend again until you reach desired consistency. If too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend again to thicken.
- Sweeten to Taste – Taste the smoothie and add your preferred sweetener (honey, agave syrup, or sugar) in ½ tablespoon increments, blending briefly after each addition until sweetness is to your liking.
- Serve – Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses and enjoy immediately for maximum freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Using frozen fruit creates a thick and chilled smoothie without the need for ice.
- Nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess while keeping calories low.
- Adjust the amount of coconut water and juices to control sweetness and texture.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though it may separate and require stirring.
- For vegan versions, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt.
