- 1 frozen peeled, sliced banana
Liquids
- 1 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
- ½ cup coconut water
- ½ cup orange juice

Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the frozen pineapple, frozen mango, frozen banana slices, nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt, coconut water, orange juice, and pineapple juice into a high-powered blender, starting with the fruit for optimal blending. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the thickness of the smoothie. If it is too thick, gradually add more orange juice or coconut water and blend again until desired consistency is reached. If it is too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend again to thicken it up.
- Sweeten to Taste: Taste your smoothie and if additional sweetness is desired, add sweetener such as honey, agave syrup, or sugar in ½ tablespoon increments, blending briefly after each addition to incorporate.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses and enjoy right away for the best flavor and texture.
Notes

- Nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt adds protein and a subtle sweetness.
- Adjust liquid amounts based on desired thickness and personal preference.
- Sweetener is optional, as the fruits and juices provide natural sweetness.
