Prep: 10

Cook: 0

Total: 10

Yield:2 smoothies

Equipment

standard blender

Ingredients

2 cups frozen pineapple
½ of one banana
½ cup yogurt see Notes
½ cup milk plus another ½ cup if needed, see Notes
1 date or 2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Add all ingredients to blender in order listed. Blend on high speed until smooth. If needed, slowly blend in more milk to achieve ideal consistency, up to 1 cup total.
Divide smoothie mixture into glasses and serve cold.

Notes

Milk: For more tropical flavor, use coconut milk. Your smoothie will taste more like a piña colada! Start with just ½ cup of your milk of choice, and add more as needed to perfect the consistency.
Yogurt: Use plain or flavored yogurt, whichever you prefer. Strawberry, vanilla, banana, or pineapple yogurt would all work well. Flavored yogurts will change the overall flavor slightly.
Make it Vegan: Use vegan yogurt and plant-based milk. Use dates or maple syrup to sweeten.
Make it Paleo: Use almond yogurt (like Kite Hill) or coconut cream instead of yogurt, and coconut milk instead of milk.
