Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If your pineapple is not pre-cut, chop it into chunks.
- Slice the banana into chunks for easier blending.
2. Make the Strawberry Layer:
- In the blender, combine the 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, and 2/3 cup Greek yogurt.
- Blend until smooth.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into a separate container and set aside. Rinse out the blender for the tropical layer.
- In the clean blender, add the 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt, 1 cup pineapple chunks, sliced banana, 2 tbsp honey, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Take the two tall glasses and alternately pour the two mixtures to create a layered effect, starting with the tropical layer, then the strawberry layer.
- You can use a spoon to gently swirl the layers together for a marbled effect if desired.
- Serve immediately with a straw and garnish with a strawberry or a pineapple slice on the rim if you like.
Tips:
- Ensure your fruits are properly frozen to achieve a thick and creamy texture.
- For a colder and more refreshing smoothie, freeze the pineapple and banana beforehand.
- Blend the ingredients in stages for a smoother consistency.
- Adjust the honey based on your desired level of sweetness.
- For added nutritional value, you can include a handful of spinach or a scoop of protein powder.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
