 Ingredients For Pink Punch Smoothie

  • 1 cup frozen strawberries

  • Ice cubes (as needed)

 Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender: fruits, yogurt, coconut water, and honey.

  2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.

  3. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more honey or coconut water.

  4. Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy immediately!

 Notes

  • For extra protein, add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder.

  • To make it dairy-free, use almond or coconut yogurt.

  • You can also add a few mint leaves for a refreshing twist.

  • The more raspberries you add, the more tangy and deep-pink it becomes.

 Tips
