Instructions

Combine Ingredients: Add the pineapple chunks, orange juice, banana, Greek yogurt, and milk into a high-speed blender. Include honey and fresh ginger if desired for extra sweetness and flavor depth.
Blend Smoothly: Blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
Add Ice if Needed: If using fresh pineapple instead of frozen, add ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the smoothie is thick and frosty.
Taste and Adjust: Sample the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if necessary.
Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavor and best texture.

Notes

For a dairy-free alternative, substitute Greek yogurt and milk with coconut yogurt and coconut milk.
Using frozen pineapple makes the smoothie thicker and removes the necessity for adding ice.
Add a handful of spinach for added nutrients without significantly changing the flavor.
