Even better, this version is enriched with protein and fiber that comes from the Greek yogurt, along with some healthy fats that come from the unsweetened almond milk.

Piñacolada Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium banana
- 2/3 cup pineapples preferably fresh-frozen
- 1/3 cup mangoes fresh-frozen
- ½ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- Fresh pineapple wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Process all the ingredients in a blender until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Pour into a glass, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- If the smoothie is too thick, add some almond milk to thin it out. Otherwise, you may thicken it up with some ice, especially when your fruits aren’t frozen.
- It’s good to know that you can always freeze fresh fruits right after you buy them. They’re convenient, and they work best on smoothies like this recipe. For fruits with thick and soft skin such as bananas, it’s best to peel them off prior to freezing so that you won’t have a hard time removing the skin when you’re about to use them.
