Ingredients measured out to make Pineapple Smoothie: coconut milk, coconut or Greek yogurt, frozen banana and frozen pineapple.

Ingredients & Substitutions

frozen pineapple – frozen pineapple is the star of the show for this smoothie.
frozen banana – the banana adds a bit more natural sweetness and makes the smoothie thick and creamy.
coconut milk – coconut milk adds creaminess and tropical flavor to this smoothie. I used light canned coconut milk. If you don’t have coconut milk on hand you can also use coconut water or another dairy-free milk of choice like almond milk or oat milk. You could also use juice for the liquid base of this smoothie like pineapple juice or orange juice, if desired.
yogurt – this adds more creaminess and some protein. I like to use coconut yogurt or vanilla Greek yogurt, but feel free to use your favorite yogurt of choice.
honey or maple syrup – this is optional, but can be added if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.

Taste and adjust the consistency as desired, adding more liquid for a thinner smoothie or some ice for a thicker smoothie.

Pour your smoothie into a glass and enjoy!

FAQs

Can I use fresh pineapple?

Yes, you can totally use fresh pineapple for this smoothie but I actually prefer frozen because it gives the smoothie a thick and creamy texture.

What fruits blend well with pineapple?

Pineapple tastes really good blended with other tropical fruits like banana, mango and passionfruit.

Can you blend pineapple and milk?

It’s perfectly safe to blend pineapple with milk or eat the two foods together. That said, the enzyme bromelain found in pineapple can make milk curdle.

Variations & Mix-Ins

This smoothie is wonder as written, but feel free to play around with different flavor variations. Here are some ideas:

Green pineapple smoothie: Add a handful of spinach or kale for a nutrient boost that won’t alter the tropical flavor.
Protein piña colada smoothie: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder and a handful of unsweetened shredded coconut for a protein-packed piña colada smoothie.
Tropical mix: Blend in some frozen mango or papaya for even more tropical taste.
Pineapple ginger smoothie: A small piece of fresh ginger can add a nice zing to your smoothie and offers anti-inflammatory benefits.
Pineapple berry smoothie: Mix in frozen blueberries, strawberries or raspberries for a sweet and tart addition.
