Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced pineapple (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium orange, peeled
- 1 frozen banana, previously peeled
- ¼ cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
- ½ cup orange juice
- Ice (optional)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Garnish glass with a slice of orange or piece of pineapple.
Notes
- If you like, you can use a mixture of 1 ½ cups diced pineapple and ½ cup mango instead of 2 cups diced pineapple
- You can substitute other liquids as the base of the smoothie instead of orange juice. Coconut water and milk are examples.
- You can add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed for a boost of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and phytonutrients.
- Frozen bananas work great in smoothies. I keep frozen bananas in my freezer to use for smoothies. Just be sure to peel them before freezing them- it's really hard to peel frozen bananas!
- Add a handful of ice to your smoothie if you're using fresh fruit. If using frozen fruit, you can skip the ice.
