Cook Time: N/A
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2
Skill Level: Easy
- 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup passionfruit pulp (fresh or from a jar)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (can be dairy-free)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Begin by adding the fresh or frozen pineapple chunks into your blender. The sweet and tangy aroma will instantly transport you to a tropical paradise.
- Add in the ripe banana, passionfruit pulp, and almond milk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
- Incorporate the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and vanilla extract into the blender. Blend again until all the ingredients are fully combined, creating a creamy and thick smoothie.
- If you prefer a colder drink, add a few ice cubes and blend once more until the ice is finely crushed.
- Pour the smoothie into two tall glasses. Watch as the vibrant yellow hues dazzle your eyes and tempt your taste buds.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves to enhance the freshness and add a pop of green, making your smoothie even more appealing.
- For a creamier texture, use coconut milk instead of almond milk.
- Try replacing the banana with avocado for a different kind of creaminess and added healthy fats.
- Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment, perfect for hot summer days.
- To make it a kid-friendly activity, let your little ones help with adding the ingredients and watching the blending process!
- Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Give it a good shake before consuming.
- If fresh passionfruit is unavailable, jarred passionfruit pulp works just as well.
- For a dairy-free option, use coconut yogurt in place of Greek yogurt.
This tropical treat pairs wonderfully with a light, crunchy snack like granola bars or a fresh fruit platter. For a more indulgent pairing, consider serving it alongside banana bread or coconut macaroons.
