Ingredients

Fruits

  • 1 cup frozen pineapple
  • 1 cup frozen mango

Liquids

  • ¾ cup orange juice
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice

Others

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½-inch ginger, grated or 1-2 teaspoons ginger paste

  2. Blend Smooth: Blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy. Use a tamper to push the ingredients down while blending to achieve a thick texture.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add an additional splash of water or orange juice and blend briefly again.
  4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass or jar and enjoy immediately. For a variation, serve as a smoothie bowl topped with toasted coconut, banana slices, homemade granola, and fresh oranges or mango pieces.
