Let’s talk friends! This smoothie deserves two golden stars for it’s taste and for how easy it is to make. Tangy from Greek yogurt and boosted with protein powder, it’s a fuel powerhouse, perfect for that post-workout replenishment or a morning kickstart.

The Recipe:

Protein Pineapple Dole Whip Smoothie

Ingredients:

• 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla flavored)
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
• 1/2 cup coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
• Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)

Instructions:

1. Blend It Up: Toss all those yummy ingredients into a blender and let it work its magic until it’s smooth and dreamy.
2. Tweak It: Taste it along the way and tweak the sweetness or thickness to your liking. You’re the maestro here!

Pro Tips for Smoothie Perfection:

• Play with Variations: Don’t be afraid to mix it up! Swap out the pineapple for other fruits like mango or add a handful of spinach for a nutritional boost. Experimentation is key to finding your perfect combo.
• Toppings Galore: Now, let’s talk toppings. Get fancy with it! Add a sprinkle of chia seeds, a dollop of whipped cream, or a slice of fresh pineapple to give your smoothie that Insta-worthy edge.
• Texture Matters: Ice or no ice? That’s the question! Adjust the consistency by adding ice cubes for a thicker texture or skip them for a smoother sip.

Alternative Options:

Not a fan of dairy? No problem! Swap the Greek yogurt for a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt or silken tofu for that creamy texture without the dairy.

Let’s get to blending. Share your drinks with me on Instagram! I love to see what you all make 🙂
