Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 banana (for creaminess)

- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
Dairy & Alternatives

Sweeteners & Flavoring

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen strawberries, pineapple chunks, banana, coconut milk, pineapple juice, yogurt, honey (if using), and vanilla extract to a blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Consistency and Sweetness: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more pineapple juice or coconut milk to reach your preferred texture. Taste the smoothie and add additional honey or maple syrup if more sweetness is desired.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. For a decorative touch, garnish with a fresh slice of pineapple or strawberry on the rim of each glass if desired.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or omit the yogurt entirely.
