Prepare the Ingredients:

• If you’re using fresh pineapple, peel and chop the pineapple into small chunks. If you’re using frozen pineapple, you can skip the chopping step.
• Peel the banana (if using) and break it into chunks. Measure out the coconut milk and other optional ingredients.

Blend the Ingredients:

• In a blender, add the pineapple chunks, banana (if using), Greek yogurt, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, and orange juice (if using). You can also add ice cubes if you want a thicker, colder smoothie or if you’re using fresh pineapple instead of frozen.

Blend Until Smooth:

• Start blending on a low setting and gradually increase to high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add a little more coconut milk or orange juice and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.

Taste and Adjust:

• Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup, if necessary. You can also add more banana for creaminess or pineapple for a tangier flavor.

Serve:

• Pour the smoothie into two glasses and garnish with a few extra pineapple chunks or a slice of lime on the rim of the glass for an added tropical touch.

Optional Garnishes:

• For an extra boost of fiber and omega-3s, sprinkle a teaspoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds on top of the smoothie. You can also garnish with a mint leaf for a refreshing aroma.

Enjoy:

• Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, tropical pineapple smoothie!
