Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh pineapple chunks

1 ripe banana, sliced

1 cup coconut milk (or almond milk for a nutty twist)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or your favorite dairy-free yogurt)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for additional sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves (optional, great for added nutrition)

1/2 cup crushed ice, to thicken the smoothie

Toppings: shredded coconut, chia seeds, sliced fruit (like kiwi or strawberries), granola, or a mix of your favorite nuts

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and, if using fresh, chop the pineapple and banana into small, manageable pieces that will blend easily.

    Blend the Smoothie: In a high-speed blender, combine the fresh pineapple chunks, sliced banana, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, honey (if desired), vanilla extract, spinach (if using), and crushed ice. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no chunks remaining.

      Taste and Adjust: Once the smoothie is blended, taste it. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, feel free to add more honey or maple syrup and give it another quick blend to combine.

        Jar It Up: Carefully pour the smoothie mixture evenly into your jars. This recipe typically yields about 2-3 jars, depending on the size of your containers.

          Add Toppings: Elevate your smoothie jars by adding a variety of toppings. Sprinkle shredded coconut, chia seeds, and sliced fruits on top, and finish off with a handful of granola or nuts for a satisfying crunch.

            Serve: Cover each jar with a lid or insert a straw for easy sipping and enjoy immediately! Alternatively, if you're prepping for later, you can refrigerate the jars for up to 24 hours. Just remember to give them a good shake before indulging.
