Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 banana
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of frozen pineapple chunks, 1/2 banana, 1 cup of coconut water, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Place the frozen pineapple chunks into a blender. If you want a thicker smoothie, make sure the pineapple is well-frozen.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces. Add the banana pieces to the blender with the frozen pineapple.
- Pour 1 cup of coconut water into the blender. This will help to blend the ingredients smoothly and add a refreshing taste.
- Add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder to the mixture. This will provide a protein boost and enhance the flavor of the smoothie.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chia seeds into the blender. Chia seeds are a great source of fiber and will add a nice texture to your smoothie.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
- Once blended, check the consistency. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more coconut water and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass. You can garnish it with a few extra chia seeds or a slice of pineapple on the rim for a decorative touch.
- Enjoy your Skinny Aloha Pineapple Bliss Protein Smoothie immediately for the best taste and texture!
Tips
- Freeze your pineapple chunks in advance for an extra thick and frosty texture.
- Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and smoother blending.
- For a creamier consistency, consider adding a small handful of ice cubes.
- Choose a high-quality vanilla protein powder for the best flavor profile.
- If you're dairy-sensitive, opt for plant-based protein powder alternatives.
- Experiment with adding a small piece of fresh ginger for an extra flavor kick.
- Store extra chia seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness.
- For a more intense tropical flavor, you can substitute part of the coconut water with coconut milk.
- Clean your blender immediately after use to prevent protein powder from hardening.
- Always blend on high speed to ensure a smooth, well-incorporated smoothie.
