Scale
Fruits
- 1 ¼ cups frozen pineapple (thawed for 5 minutes)
- 1 ¼ cups frozen mango (thawed for 5 minutes)
Greens
- 1 cup baby spinach (fresh)
Dairy & Liquids
- ½ cup unsweetened milk (such as almond or cow’s milk)
- ¼ cup plain yogurt
Optional
- 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (such as honey, agave, or a sugar substitute)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Thaw the frozen pineapple and mango for about 5 minutes to soften them slightly, making blending easier and producing a smoother texture.
- Load Blender: Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender, placing softer ingredients like yogurt and spinach closer to the blade and frozen items further away to help the blending process.
- Blend: Blend the mixture for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and creamy, ensuring a well-combined texture with no chunks remaining.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and optionally garnish with diced pineapple or mango pieces for extra texture and flavor. Enjoy immediately for the best taste and nutritional benefits.
Notes
- Use unsweetened milk and plain yogurt to control added sugars and keep the smoothie healthier.
- Adjust the sweetener amount according to personal preference or omit entirely for a natural fruit sweetness.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and yogurt with plant-based alternatives such as almond milk and coconut yogurt.
- Consume immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors and avoid discoloration of the spinach.
- You can add ice cubes if you prefer a colder, thicker smoothie.
