Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 2 medium fresh tangerines, peeled and segmented
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
Instructions
- Peel the tangerines and separate into segments, removing any seeds. Peel the bananas and break into chunks.
- Place the banana chunks, tangerine segments, and Greek yogurt into the blender jar. For a thinner smoothie, add 1/4 cup (60 ml) almond milk or water.
- Blend on low speed to break down the fruit, then increase to high speed and blend until smooth and creamy with no visible chunks.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if desired. Optionally add a pinch of freshly grated ginger for extra zing.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Stir before drinking if it has been sitting.
Notes
Use ripe bananas with brown spots for optimal sweetness and creamy texture. Fresh tangerine segments add pulpiness and body; avoid using only juice. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond-based yogurt. Add almond milk or water to thin the smoothie if desired. Blend in short bursts and scrape sides for even texture. Best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge up to 24 hours; stir before drinking.
