Total Time: 10 minutes
Instructions:
1. Begin by peeling the bananas and cutting them into small, blender-friendly pieces. Place these banana pieces into your blender.
2. Next, prepare the pineapple by slicing off the skin and chopping the flesh into small chunks. Add these pieces to your blender.
3. If you want a colder, more slushy-like texture, you have the option to freeze your cut fruits before blending.
4. Pour fresh milk into the blender over the fruit. The amount of milk you add depends on how thick or thin you prefer your smoothie. Start with about a half-cup and adjust as necessary.
5. Drizzle honey into the mix for a natural sweetness. The amount of honey can be adjusted based on your preference, but a good starting point is 1-2 tablespoons.
6. Secure the lid on your blender and begin blending the ingredients. Blend until it reaches a consistency that’s 60% of what you’re aiming for.
7. If you're not using frozen fruit, you can add ice cubes at this stage to chill and thicken your smoothie.
8. Continue to blend until the smoothie reaches your preferred consistency.
9. Once smooth and creamy, pour the smoothie into glasses, garnish if desired, and serve immediately.
Servings: This recipe yields approximately 2-4 servings, depending on serving size.
Cooking Tips:
- For an extra nutrient boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder or some chia seeds before blending.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more milk to thin it out or more frozen fruit/ice to thicken the smoothie.
