Our favorite pink (or green!) smoothies

Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1 generous handful frozen strawberries
  • 1 generous handful frozen mango chunks
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (these are all -ish: I usually just grab whatever smallish spoon is close at hand)
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened, shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon cacao nibs
  • 1 pitted medjool date (optional - gives an extra sweetness boost)
  • 1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt (any plain yogurt works, we like it tangy)

If you want a green smoothie, also add:

  • 3-4 leaves lacinato kale I usually remove the central rib, but you can leave it as long as you let the blender run a little bit longer to break it up entirely

Instructions

  1. Start with the frozen fruit, and place all the ingredients into your Vitamix or other high-speed blender. 

  2. Add enough water to cover the ingredients by an inch or two. You can use milk or a non-dairy milk if you want, but we find it makes it a bit too rich.

  3. Allow to sit for a minute or two so the frozen fruit slightly softens, then blend on high speed to your desired consistency. Pour and serve.
