- 4 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 banana, peeled and cut into chunks not frozen
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey or to taste
- ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk or to taste
- Cold water or milk as needed to thin it out
Add pineapples, banana, yogurt, honey, and sweet condensed milk into a large blender. I use a 72-ounce capacity countertop blender.
Blend until smooth. Add cold water as needed to thin it out until desired consistency (I add about ¼ cups of water at a time). Serve immediately. Optional: garnish with mint leaves or fresh pineapple.
- Use frozen diced pineapple to ensure your smoothies have the right consistency and temperature. You can buy pre-frozen pineapple or freeze your own.
- Do not add ice to the smoothie, as it can dilute the flavors.
- Sweet condensed milk: Adds unique, sweet milky flavors. If you prefer to omit it, add more honey instead.
- Make ahead – Freezing blended smoothies: Transfer blended smoothie into mason jars, leaving about 1 inch at the top. Seal tightly and freeze it for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
- Prep ahead – Freeze prepped ingredients: Portion the frozen pineapple and bananas in sealed freezer-friendly bags.
Substitutions and variations:
- Greek yogurt: Use your favorite yogurt, plain or flavored. If using regular yogurt, which can be thinner than Greek yogurt, use less or to taste.
- Water: Your favorite milk, coconut water, pineapple juice.
- Sweet condensed milk: honey.
