Main Ingredients
- 2 cups whole-milk plain yogurt
- 2 medium mandarin or clementine oranges, scrubbed and stemmed, plus slices for garnish
- 2 medium frozen very ripe peeled bananas, sliced crosswise (about 1 1/4 cups)
- 1 1/4 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Ensure the oranges are scrubbed and stemmed, bananas peeled and sliced, and pineapple chunks frozen to keep the smoothie chilled and thick.
- Blend the Ingredients: Add 2 cups of whole-milk plain yogurt, the 2 scrubbed oranges, frozen banana slices, 1¼ cups frozen pineapple chunks, and 1½ teaspoons grated fresh ginger into a high-speed blender.
- Process Until Smooth: Blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth. If using a regular blender, blend for 2 to 3 minutes, periodically stopping to mash down the oranges and scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie evenly into 2 glasses (about 20 ounces each). Garnish with orange slices for an appealing finish.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess.
- Frozen pineapple chunks help keep the smoothie cold without watering it down.
- Fresh ginger adds a subtle spicy kick that complements the fruit flavors.
- You can substitute whole-milk yogurt with Greek yogurt for a thicker texture and higher protein.
- To make it vegan or dairy-free, replace yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
