Ingredients
  

For the Smoothie
  • 1 cup Frozen Pineapple Chunks Adds natural sweetness and a tropical twist; fresh pineapple can also be used for a thinner consistency.
  • 1 cup Frozen Strawberries Contributes a fruity base and eye-catching pink color; feel free to mix in half red raspberries for a tangy flavor.
  • 1 medium Frozen Banana Provides thickness and natural sweetness; omitting this will still leave you with a delicious smoothie, but it won’t be as creamy.
  • 1 cup Almond or Coconut Milk (unsweetened) Acts as your liquid for blending and adds a rich creaminess; any milk of your choice will work perfectly.
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder Enhances flavor while packing in protein for a filling meal replacement; opt for a trusted brand like Bob’s Red Mill for the best results.

Equipment

  • High-speed blender

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Pink Pineapple Protein Smoothie
  1. Start by adding your frozen pineapple chunks, frozen strawberries, and banana pieces into a high-speed blender. Pour in the unsweetened almond or coconut milk along with the vanilla protein powder. Close the blender lid tightly to prevent any spills during the blending process.
  2. Blend the mixture on high for about 30-60 seconds until it achieves a smooth, creamy consistency. If the ingredients don't seem to be blending well, use a tamper to push them down into the blade. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
  3. After blending, check the smoothie’s thickness. If you prefer a thinner consistency, gradually add more almond or coconut milk, about a tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition. Aim for a delightful, creamy texture that's easy to sip.
  4. Once the Pink Pineapple Protein Smoothie is at your preferred consistency, pour it into a tall glass or bowl. If desired, garnish with fresh fruit, granola, or coconut flakes for an extra touch. Serve this vibrant smoothie immediately to enjoy its refreshing taste and optimal texture.
