Tropical Berry Delight Smoothie Recipe Walkthrough
Start by tossing your frozen mango chunks and mixed berries into the blender. They’re the backbone of this smoothie, so make sure they’re in there first to get the blending started smoothly. Next, add the fresh pineapple chunks and banana. These fruits add a lovely sweetness and will help balance the tartness of the berries.
Now, pour in the coconut water. This is your liquid base, and it helps everything blend together easily while adding a refreshing hint of coconut flavor. After that, spoon in the Greek yogurt, which will give your smoothie a nice, creamy texture and a boost of protein.
Sprinkle in the chia seeds for their nutritional benefits and texture. Drizzle the honey over everything to naturally sweeten your smoothie without it being overpowering. Finally, add the grated ginger. This little addition packs a punch and takes the tropical flavors to the next level.
Blend everything on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You might need to pause and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well incorporated. Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
