Serves 2

Ingredients

Ice cubes
1 cup
Honey
1-2 tablespoons (to taste)
Greek yogurt
1/2 cup
Banana
1, ripe
Pineapple
1 cup, chopped (fresh or canned)
Kiwi
2, peeled and chopped
Coconut water or milk
1/2 cup (for a creamier texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by peeling and chopping the kiwis and chopping the pineapple if using fresh.
  2. In a blender, combine the chopped kiwi, pineapple, banana, Greek yogurt, honey, and ice cubes. For a creamier texture, pour in the coconut water or milk.
  3. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
  5. Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a slice of kiwi or a pineapple wedge for a delightful tropical touch.

Tips

  • 💡 For added nutrition, consider tossing in a handful of spinach or kale for a green smoothie variation.
  • 💡 If you prefer a thicker smoothie, reduce the amount of coconut water or milk.
  • 💡 To amp up the tropical flavors, add a splash of lime juice or a pinch of shredded coconut.
