Pineapple and Banana Smoothie Recipe

This Pineapple and Banana Smoothie is a vibrant, tropical blend of juicy pineapple, ripe banana, and creamy yogurt or milk. It’s naturally sweet, rich in fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, and can be made dairy-free or protein-packed depending on your preferences. Whether you’re sipping it poolside or grabbing it on the go, this smoothie is a delicious way to energize your day. It’s also endlessly customizable—add greens, protein powder, or coconut for your own twist.


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, or coconut)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness)
  • ½ cup ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)
  • Optional add-ins:
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseed
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric or ginger for a health boost
  • A handful of spinach for added greens

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients

  • If using fresh fruit, peel and chop the banana and pineapple into chunks.
  • For a thicker smoothie, freeze the banana and pineapple ahead of time.

2. Blend

  • Add the pineapple, banana, yogurt, milk, and any optional add-ins to a high-speed blender.
  • Blend on high for 30–60 seconds, or until smooth and creamy.
  • If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, add a few ice cubes or more frozen fruit.

3. Taste and Adjust

  • Taste the smoothie and add honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
  • Blend again briefly to incorporate.

4. Serve

  • Pour into a tall glass or smoothie bowl.
  • Garnish with a pineapple wedge, banana slice, or a sprinkle of chia seeds or shredded coconut.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve with a breakfast muffin or granola bar for a complete meal.
  • Pour into a mason jar for an on-the-go snack.
  • Turn it into a smoothie bowl and top with granola, coconut flakes, and fresh fruit.

Tips & Variations:

  • Make it vegan: Use plant-based yogurt and milk.
  • Add greens: A handful of spinach or kale blends in easily without overpowering the flavor.
  • Boost protein: Add Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder.
  • Tropical twist: Add mango, passionfruit, or coconut water for extra island vibes.
  • Freeze it: Pour leftovers into popsicle molds for a frozen treat.
