Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (frozen pineapple can be used for convenience)

1 ripe banana, sliced into rounds

1 cup coconut water (or substitute with almond milk for a creamier texture)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain for a tart flavor or vanilla for a sweeter taste)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (choose either plant-based or whey based on preference)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (for added fiber and omega-3s)

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

A handful of fresh spinach (optional, for a nutritious boost)

Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: If using fresh pineapple, make sure to cut it into bite-sized chunks for easy blending. Slice the banana into even rounds, and gather all remaining ingredients.

    Blend: In your blender, combine the pineapple chunks, sliced banana, coconut water (or almond milk), Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and spinach if you're adding it.

      Adjust Sweetness: Taste the smoothie mixture. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, stir in honey or agave syrup to taste.

        Ice It Up: For a thicker, frostier smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender.

          Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and the smoothie achieves a creamy, smooth consistency. If the mixture appears too thick, feel free to add a bit more coconut water or almond milk to reach your desired texture.

            Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the freshest flavor and optimal texture.
