Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (frozen pineapple can be used for convenience)

1 ripe banana, sliced

1 cup coconut water (for a refreshing taste) or almond milk (for added creaminess)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla to suit your preference)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (choose plant-based or whey based on dietary needs)

1 tablespoon chia seeds (for healthy omega-3 fats)

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

A handful of fresh spinach (to boost nutrients; optional)

Ice cubes (optional, to achieve a thicker smoothie texture)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: If you're using fresh pineapple, slice it into bite-sized chunks. Slice the banana as well, and ensure all other ingredients are ready to go.

    Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the prepared pineapple, sliced banana, coconut water (or almond milk), Greek yogurt, protein powder, and chia seeds. If you're adding spinach for an extra nutrient boost, include it at this stage.

      Sweeten to Taste: After blending for a moment, taste your smoothie. If you'd like it sweeter, incorporate honey or agave syrup according to your preference, and blend again briefly.

        Add Ice for Texture: If you prefer a thicker, colder smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes and blend until the ice is finely crushed and incorporated.

          Achieve Desired Consistency: Continue blending on high speed until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed together. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add a splash more of coconut water or almond milk and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.

            Serve Fresh: Pour the vibrant smoothie into chilled glasses and enjoy immediately to savor the fresh flavors and optimal texture.
