Banana: Using a fresh banana is suggested, but if not available, go ahead and add frozen banana slices and always have one frozen banana handy.

Pineapple: Use frozen or fresh pineapple chunks, and the smoothie taste will remain delicious.

Greek yogurt: Use yogurt instead of milk; it is a healthy ingredient and gives the smoothies a thick and creamy texture.

Fruits: Other fruits, such as mangoes and raspberries, can be added, and bananas can be skipped to make a complete fruit smoothie.

Ice: If using frozen fruits, ice is optional; add crushed ice only if using fresh fruits.

Sweetener: Other sweeteners, such as maple syrup, can be added as its calories are slightly lower than honey or can be skipped entirely.

When to drink the smoothie?

Since the smoothie contains all fruits, have it during breakfast by replacing other breakfast meals or serve it during snack time. 

The recipe is perfect for drinking during any meal or replacing any meal with a smoothie to have a healthy meal. 

The smoothie is a great choice to serve kids and adults; any age group can consume the smoothie any time of the day.

Watch out if you have any health issues, such as people with diabetes, as natural sugars in high amounts spike the sugar levels in the body.

Can I add flavored yogurt or milk to the smoothie?

Yes, yogurt and milk can be combined with the fruit smoothie with yogurt, or you can add a solo liquid, yogurt, or milk.

If you like to keep the smoothie simple, you can skip some fruits and blend the smoothie with water. 

The smoothie blended with water can keep you hydrated, but more is needed to supply your body's nutrition.

Other perfect options are to go with non-dairy milk, such as almond milk, to give the necessary protein, or add greek yogurt.

Flavored yogurt is not a healthy option if you make a smoothie to lose weight or add it to a healthy weight-loss diet.

Use low-fat yogurt, greek yogurt, or other non-dairy milk, and watch out for the benefits it shows on your body in the long run.

Tips

• Thaw all fruits in frozen form to help blend the smoothie easily and quickly without making it lumpy.
• You can add a vegetable such as spinach to the mentioned fruits in the recipe to make it a healthier, fiber-rich low, calorie smoothie.
