- 1 Cup Greek Yogurt
- 1 Cup Milk
- ½ Cup Orange Juice
- 2 Cups Pineapple (frozen)(cubed)
- 1½ Cups Mango (frozen)(cubed)
- 2 Tbsp Honey or Agave Nectar (optional for added sweetness)
Prepare Your Ingredients: Ensure your pineapple and mango are frozen and pre-cut into cubes and dices, respectively. This preparation step is crucial for achieving a thick and cold smoothie consistency.
Measure the Ingredients: Use measuring cups to measure 1 cup of Greek yogurt. Similarly, measure 1 cup of milk and ½ cup of orange juice using the appropriate measuring cups. Finally, measure out 2 cups of frozen pineapple cubes and 1½ cups of frozen mango dices to ensure you have the correct proportions.
Add Liquid Ingredients to Blender: Pour the 1 cup of milk into the blender. Next, add the ½ cup of orange juice, which will provide a citrusy tang and help balance the sweetness of the fruits.
Add Greek Yogurt: Spoon the 1 cup of Greek yogurt into the blender.
Add Frozen Fruits: Add the 2 cups of frozen pineapple cubes to the blender. Follow this by adding the 1½ cups of frozen mango dices.
Blend the Ingredients: Secure the lid on the blender. Start blending on a low speed and gradually increase to high speed. This gradual increase helps ensure all ingredients are evenly blended. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no chunks of fruit remaining.
Check Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more milk or orange juice to reach your desired consistency. It's important to adjust the thickness to your liking. Blend again briefly to mix in any additional liquid you’ve added.
Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses. This is the final step where you get to enjoy your creation. Serve immediately while it's cold and refreshing, to enjoy the best taste and texture.
Tips: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add honey or agave syrup before blending. For an extra boost of nutrition, consider adding a handful of spinach or a scoop of protein powder. These optional additions can enhance the flavor and nutritional value of your smoothie without significantly altering the basic recipe.
