- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a frostier texture)

Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. The tangy aroma of the passionfruit and the sweet scent of fresh berries will set the mood for a vibrant creation.
- In a blender, combine the passionfruit pulp, mixed berries, ripe banana, Greek yogurt, and orange juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Watch the colors swirl into a beautiful shade of pinkish-purple.

- Garnish with fresh mint leaves for that extra touch of freshness and a pop of color. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Helpful Tips and Variations

- For a dairy-free option, replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
- Serving suggestion: Present the smoothie in mason jars or tall glasses with striped straws for a fun, family-friendly touch.
- Enhance the experience by adding a sprinkle of chia seeds or a few fresh berries on top.
Storage and Substitutions
- Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 2 days for the best taste and freshness.
