Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 1 cup seedless grapes (any color, but purple gives a deeper flavor)
- 1 large orange, peeled and segmented
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled version)
Instructions:
- Start by preparing your fruits. Wash the grapes thoroughly, peel and segment the orange, and slice the banana.
- In a blender, add the grapes, orange segments, banana slices, and Greek yogurt.
- Pour in the freshly squeezed orange juice. This adds a vibrant, tangy aroma that will make your mouth water.
- If you prefer a bit of natural sweetness, add a tablespoon of honey.
- For those hot days, toss in a handful of ice cubes for an extra chilled experience.
- Blend everything on high speed until smooth. The mixture should have a thick, creamy texture.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses. Take a moment to enjoy the beautiful purple-orange hue and the fresh, invigorating scent.
- Serve immediately, and garnish with a slice of orange on the rim or a few grapes on a skewer for an extra touch of flair.
Helpful Tips and Variations:
- If you don’t have Greek yogurt, regular yogurt or even a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt works great.
- For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Serve in a pre-chilled glass to keep your smoothie cold for longer.
- This smoothie doubles as a fruity base for popsicles – pour it into molds and freeze for a fun treat.
Storage and Substitutions:
- Refrigerate any leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
- During grape off-season, use frozen grapes for a refreshing twist.
- Out of fresh oranges? Bottled orange juice can be a handy substitute, though fresh gives the best flavor.
Pairings and Complements:
- Enjoy this smoothie with a light breakfast of avocado toast for a balanced start to your day.
- Pair with a bowl of fresh berries and granola for a refreshing afternoon snack.
- This drink also complements a platter of assorted cheese and crackers for a family-friendly nibble.
