Dairy
- 1 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
Liquids
- ½ cup coconut water
- ½ cup orange juice

Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place all frozen fruits, nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt, coconut water, orange juice, and pineapple juice into a high-powered blender, starting with the fruit for optimal blending performance. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, gradually add more juice or coconut water and blend again. Conversely, if it is too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend until you reach your desired thickness.

- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using frozen fruit eliminates the need for additional ice, keeping the flavors concentrated.
- Nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein without excess fat.
- Adjust sweetness according to your preference and dietary needs.
- This smoothie is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir well before serving.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
