Fruit Smoothie

A delicious and refreshing twist on a classic smoothie, this Fruit Smoothie recipe combines the sweetness of banana, berries, and pineapple with the tanginess of Greek yogurt and orange juice, blending into a velvety treat perfect for a quick breakfast or snack on-the-go.

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana
• 1 cup frozen mixed berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Ice cubes (as needed)

Instructions

Add the banana, frozen mixed berries, Greek yogurt, frozen pineapple, and honey to a blender.

Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy.

Add the freshly squeezed orange juice and blend until well combined.

Taste the smoothie and add more honey if desired.

Add ice cubes to the blender if you want a thicker consistency.

Blend the mixture again until the ice is crushed and the smoothie is the desired consistency.

Pour the smoothie into four glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

Feel free to customize the amount of honey to your taste – if you prefer it sweeter, add more, if you prefer it less sweet, start with half a tablespoon.

If you’re using a weaker blender, be patient and blend in small pulses to avoid overheating the motor.

If you want a thicker smoothie, add more ice cubes, or if you prefer it thinner, add a bit more orange juice.

You can also swap out the mixed berries for any other frozen fruit you have on hand, like mango or peaches.

Consider making a double batch and freezing some for later – just thaw and re-blend when you’re ready!
