Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • ½ frozen banana, sliced
  • ½ cup milk of choice
  • ½ cup orange juice

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. You’ll need the frozen pineapple chunks, the sliced frozen banana, milk, and orange juice. Having everything on hand makes the blending process a breeze.
  2. Next, take a high-speed blender and add the frozen pineapple first. This helps ensure everything blends smoothly without clumping.
  3. Add in the sliced frozen banana. If you’re using fresh bananas, cut them into pieces and add them at this stage. The frozen option will make the smoothie creamier.
  4. Pour in your choice of milk. If you prefer a creamier texture, opt for whole milk or a non-dairy alternative that’s creamier. If you like it lighter, choose almond or skim milk.
  5. Then, add the orange juice. This adds a wonderful citrusy flavor that complements the pineapple and banana beautifully.
  6. Secure the lid on the blender tightly. This is important to prevent any spills as you blend!
  7. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. You may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
  8. If the smoothie looks too thick, don’t hesitate to add an extra ¼ cup of milk or a little water. This will help it blend smoothly without getting stuck.
  9. Once you achieve a smooth consistency, taste the smoothie. If you want it sweeter, you could add a touch of honey or a few more banana slices.
  10. Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Enjoy this refreshing treat as part of your breakfast or as a delightful snack!
