This Pineapple-Lemon Smoothie is the perfect way to start the day. Made with pineapple and lemon Greek yogurt, it makes for a bright, delicious morning!
I love, love, love Greek yogurt! I started eating it as breakfast or a late night snack. Adding some mix-in’s is my go-to way to enjoy it the most. I just love texture, so things like granola, mini chocolate chips, nuts, and so on are a great way to get that extra crunch that I can’t get enough of.
However, a couple of months ago, I went on a huge smoothie binge. Seriously, a smoothies all day, every day kind of binge. I’ve backed off a little, but still love starting the day with a smoothie, especially a fruit and protein smoothie using Greek yogurt.
One of my favorite smoothie recipes for summer is this Pineapple-Lemon Smoothie.
I also refer to it as a Sunshine Smoothie because it’s just like summer in a glass. It just makes you feel all kinds of sunshine and happiness!
This recipe features Dannon® Oikos® Traditional Greek Yogurt in the flavor Lemon Meringue. I like that it adds extra flavor to this smoothie and helps keep the ingredients list short and sweet! These smoothies are great even for busy mornings because you can literally make it in less than 5 minutes!
That makes for a good morning and the start of a happier day, for sure!
Want even more good news? There are currently two IBOTTA offers to earn when you purchase Dannon® Oikos® Traditional Greek Yogurt cups at Walmart. That’s right, two! One offer for the 4-pack of cups and one offer for the individual cups. Take your pick, or use both!
In addition to the Lemon Meringue flavor, the Toasted Coconut Vanilla variety is amazingly good!
