Ingredients
Fruit
- 8 oz fresh strawberries, chilled, hulled
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and frozen
- 1 1/2 cups frozen pineapple
Dairy & Alternatives
- 1 (5.3 oz) container coconut Greek yogurt
- 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk beverage (the kind found in the dairy aisle)
Instructions
- Puree Strawberries: Pulse the fresh strawberries in a food processor until they become a smooth, well-pureed mixture. This will create a bright, sweet strawberry puree to swirl into the smoothie.
- Blend Main Ingredients: In a blender, add the frozen banana, frozen pineapple, coconut Greek yogurt, and 1 1/4 cups of the unsweetened coconut milk. Pulse and blend until smooth, adding up to 1/4 cup more coconut milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Assemble the Smoothie: Spoon about one-third of the pineapple smoothie mixture into glasses. Add a spoonful or two of the strawberry puree on top, then lightly swirl using a butter knife to create a marbled effect. Repeat layering twice more, finishing with the strawberry swirl on top.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the swirled smoothies right away to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors and beautiful presentation.
- Optional Method: For a quicker preparation, blend all ingredients together at once in the blender, skipping the separate strawberry puree step.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas and fresh strawberries for the best natural sweetness.
- Frozen pineapple helps chill and thicken the smoothie.
- Unsweetened coconut milk beverage provides a light, tropical flavor without added sugars.
- Light canned coconut milk diluted with water (1:1) can be used as a substitute for the coconut milk beverage.
- This smoothie is best served immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and smooth texture.
