- 1 cup fresh strawberries or frozen

- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
- 1/2 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
- 1 tablespoon honey optional
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional

- Cut the pineapple into chunks if using fresh.
- Add all ingredients to the blender, starting with liquids, followed by soft ingredients, and ending with frozen items.
- Blend on low for 15-20 seconds, then increase to high for 30-45 seconds until smooth.
- Check consistency – add more liquid if too thick or more ice if too thin.

Notes
Freeze fruit ahead of time for a thicker smoothie without extra ice.
Let frozen fruit sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before blending for easier processing.
Fresh pineapple enhances flavor compared to canned.
Blend just until smooth to avoid excessive foam.
Chill glasses before serving for extra refreshment.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
