Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or frozen)
Liquids and Dairy
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (or coconut water)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt for dairy-free)
Sweeteners and Extras
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
- 1/2 teaspoon lime juice (optional, for extra zest)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the strawberries, pineapple, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, and honey (if using) to a blender to prepare for blending.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture until smooth, periodically scraping down the sides to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add Ice and Lime: Add ice cubes and lime juice if desired, then blend again until the smoothie reaches your preferred consistency and chill.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and best texture.
- Garnish: For a festive presentation, garnish with a slice of strawberry or pineapple on the glass rim (optional).
Notes
- Use frozen fruit instead of fresh to avoid adding ice and achieve a creamier texture.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or agave syrup or omit entirely if preferred.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt and coconut water instead of coconut milk.
- Adding lime juice brightens the overall flavor but can be skipped if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
- Consume immediately for the best taste and texture, as separation may occur upon standing.
