🍯 Why This Recipe Works

This pineapple melon smoothie is quite satisfying, so a single glass could serve as a wholesome snack between meals if you're seeking a nutritious approach to manage your hunger and minimize snacking during the day.

🥘 Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
Frozen watermelon- Save your leftover watermelon by slicing it and placing it on a baking sheet to freeze overnight. Or simply buy it already frozen from the grocery store (if your store sells it).
Pineapple chunks- You can use fresh or canned pineapple, depending on what you have on hand.
Frozen banana- A frozen banana will help to thicken this smoothie and add more sweetness, but you can use a fresh ripe banana if that's what you have on hand. If you have another banana in the freezer, try it in our Strawberry Banana Orange Smoothie.
Frozen vanilla yogurt- I like to use frozen yogurt in my smoothies because it keeps them thick and cold. You can use chilled yogurt from the fridge, though!

- Enhancing Pineapple Flavor- For a stronger pineapple flavor, opt for fresh or frozen pineapple chunks instead of canned pineapple.
