Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) fresh strawberries, chilled and hulled
- 1.5 cups (240 grams) frozen pineapple
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and frozen
Dairy and Yogurt:
- 5.3 ounces (150 grams) container coconut Greek yogurt
Liquid Base:
- 1.25 to 1.5 cups (296 to 355 milliliters) unsweetened coconut milk beverage
Instructions
- Place fresh, ripe strawberries into a food processor and pulse until transforming into a silky, vibrant puree with no visible chunks.
- Transfer ripe banana, chopped pineapple chunks, creamy coconut Greek yogurt, and 10 fluid ounces (300 milliliters) of coconut milk into a high-powered blender.
- Blend the tropical ingredients on high speed until achieving a smooth, homogeneous mixture with no remaining fruit fragments.
- Assess the smoothie’s texture; if excessively thick, incrementally incorporate an additional 2 fluid ounces (60 milliliters) of coconut milk until reaching a desirable, pourable consistency.
- Select serving glasses and carefully pour the golden pineapple mixture to fill approximately one-third of each glass.
- Using a spoon, delicately distribute the crimson strawberry puree across the pineapple layer, creating elegant swirls with a butter knife.
- Methodically repeat the layering process, alternating between pineapple mixture and strawberry puree, building two additional layers to create a visually appealing gradient.
- For those preferring a fully integrated drink, simply combine all ingredients in the blender and pulse until thoroughly combined.
- Serve immediately to preserve the smoothie’s optimal temperature and vibrant flavor profile.
Notes
- Start by selecting ripe, juicy strawberries for maximum flavor and vibrant color in your smoothie.
- Freezing fruits beforehand creates a thicker, more refreshing texture without diluting the drink’s intense tropical essence.
- Swirling techniques transform this simple smoothie into a visually stunning layered beverage that looks professionally crafted.
- Greek coconut yogurt adds creamy richness and provides a tangy background note that complements the sweet fruits perfectly.
- Adjusting liquid amounts allows you to customize the smoothie’s consistency, making it thicker or thinner based on personal preference.
