Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1.5 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 medium banana
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 0.25 teaspoon orange zest (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the banana and break it into chunks for easier blending.
Add the orange juice, frozen pineapple chunks, Greek yogurt, and banana to a blender.
If desired, drizzle in the honey for additional sweetness.
Add the ice cubes to the blender for a chilled, slushy consistency.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or thickness, if needed. Add more honey for sweetness or a splash of orange juice to thin out the texture.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses.
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of orange zest on top for a burst of citrus aroma.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Orange Pineapple Smoothie!
