Ingredients:
-
1 ripe banana
-
1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
-

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
-
A few ice cubes (optional, for extra chill and thickness)
Instructions:

Prepare Your Ingredients
Peel the banana and cut it into chunks. If you’re using fresh pineapple or mango, cut them into cubes. Frozen fruit works beautifully too — it makes the smoothie thicker and colder. -
Add to Blender
In a blender, combine the banana, pineapple, mango, yogurt, and almond milk. -
Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high speed until the texture becomes creamy and smooth. If it’s too thick, add a little more almond milk. For a thicker smoothie, toss in a few ice cubes and blend again. -
Taste and Adjust
Taste and, if desired, add a touch of honey or agave syrup for extra sweetness (optional, since the fruits are naturally sweet). -
Serve and Enjoy
Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass, top with a pineapple wedge or mint leaf if you like, and enjoy immediately!
