Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups frozen mango chunks
- 0.5 cup frozen pineapple tidbits
- 0.5 medium banana, sliced
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut water
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp black chia seeds
- 1 tsp honey
Instructions:
- Pour the coconut water and lime juice into the blender first. Note: This prevents the frozen fruit from getting stuck at the bottom and burning out the motor.
- Add the creamy base. Spoon the Greek yogurt and honey into the liquid.
- Add the frozen mango, frozen pineapple, and the half banana. Blend on low 30 seconds until the large chunks are broken down.
- Measure out the chia seeds and add them to the mixture.
- Increase to high speed and blend for 60 seconds until the mixture is velvety and vibrant.
- Stop the blender and stir with a spatula. Look for a thick, spoonable texture that holds its shape for a second before settling.
- Let the blender sit for 2 minutes. Note: This allows the chia seeds to begin their hydration process, resulting in a thicker drink.
- Give it one last 5 second pulse to re incorporate everything before pouring.
- Pour into a tall glass. You should see tiny dark specks of chia distributed evenly throughout the yellow mango base.
