Citrus-Pineapple Smoothie
A vibrantly-colored, citrus-flavored smoothie that’s oh so refreshing and healthy! Thanks to the vitamin C and antioxidant-enriched fruits, along with the gut-healthy Greek yogurt, that are featured in this recipe.
- ½ cup fat-free Greek yogurt
- ½ cup pineapple chunks fresh-frozen
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ medium navel orange segmented
- ½ medium ruby grapefruit segmented
- Chia seeds as topping, optional, as needed
- Unsweetened coconut flakes as topping, optional, as needed
Process all the ingredients, except the optional toppings, in a blender, until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Pour into a glass, sprinkle with chia seeds and unsweetened coconut flakes, and/or serve, and enjoy!
- For a vegan beverage, simply replace Greek yogurt with an equal amount of almond or coconut yogurt.
- You may also replace vanilla extract with an equal amount of vanilla bean paste or a scraped-out pod of a 2-inch piece of vanilla bean.
- Nutritional information includes ½ teaspoon of chia seeds and ½ teaspoon of coconut flakes.
