Juicy pineapple gives it a tropical twist, strawberries add berry sweetness, banana makes it smooth, Greek yogurt adds body, and fresh lime keeps every sip bright. It is quick enough for breakfast, pretty enough for brunch, and refreshing enough for a warm afternoon pick-me-up.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or frozen
- 1 small ripe banana, peeled
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup pineapple juice, orange juice, or milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lime zest, optional
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, optional
- 1/2 cup ice, optional for a thicker smoothie
How To Make It
Add the pineapple juice, orange juice, or milk to the blender first. This helps the blades move easily and keeps the fruit from sticking at the bottom.
Add the Greek yogurt, banana, strawberries, pineapple, lime juice, and lime zest if using. Blend on high until the smoothie looks creamy and evenly pink, stopping once to scrape down the sides if needed.
Check the texture. If the smoothie is too thick, add another splash of liquid and blend again. If it is thinner than you like, add a few ice cubes or a little extra frozen fruit.
Taste before pouring. If your pineapple or strawberries are very tart, blend in 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. Serve right away in a chilled glass with a lime wedge, strawberry slice, or small pineapple piece on the rim for a fun finish.
Tips
Use at least one frozen fruit for the best thick, frosty texture. Frozen strawberries make the smoothie extra cold, while frozen pineapple gives it more of a tropical smoothie-bar feel.
For a stronger lime flavor, use both the juice and zest. Lime zest adds a fresh citrus aroma without making the smoothie too sour.
Choose a ripe banana with a few brown spots for natural sweetness and a smoother blend. If you do not want a strong banana flavor, use half a banana and add a little more pineapple.
For a meal-prep shortcut, portion the strawberries, pineapple, and banana into freezer bags. When you are ready to blend, add the frozen fruit, yogurt, liquid, and lime.
Blend it cold, pour it bright, and enjoy every sunny sip!
