Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or frozen)
Dairy & Alternatives
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (or coconut water)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt for dairy-free)
Sweeteners & 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
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the strawberries, pineapple chunks, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, and honey (if using) into a blender.
- Blend Smoothly: Blend the mixture until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well combined.
- Add Ice and Lime Juice: If desired, add ice cubes and lime juice, then blend again until the smoothie reaches your preferred consistency and chill.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Garnish: Optionally, garnish with a slice of strawberry or pineapple for a festive and colorful presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen fruit depending on availability and preference; frozen fruit will make the smoothie colder and thicker.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding or omitting the honey or agave syrup based on your taste and the natural sweetness of the fruit.
- For a vegan or dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use coconut water instead of coconut milk for a lighter texture.
- Lime juice adds a nice citrus zing but is optional.
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste and best consistency as smoothies can separate if left sitting.
