The BEST Pineapple Smoothie Recipe!
While looking for an after workout snack recently and wanting to keep it relatively quick and easy, I made this easy healthy pineapple smoothie without yogurt. Two simple ingredients and just a few minutes are all it takes. You could substitute fresh pineapple and use the milk of your choice in this recipe.
In that case, and if you are looking for a cold, frothy drink, I would add a few ice cubes. I would like to try fresh pineapple in this smoothie, but the convenience of buying frozen pineapple chunks wins at the moment. So much of what I prepare and make it from scratch, I really like to save time where I can. 🙂

Simple Pineapple Smoothie:
What I love about pineapple beside the wonderfully sweet tropical taste are the health benefits. Did you know that pineapples are reported to provide antioxidant and immune protection, as well as anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits? And containing Bromelain, it is a natural anti-inflammatory and painkiller. I have read that other benefits are cancer and cough and colds prevention.
Pineapples have lots of great vitamins and minerals too! Get a healthy dose of B6, manganese, calcium, vitamin C, potassium, folate and more.
I recently purchased a small blender and love it, however, it would recommend going with the slightly more powerful version if you are in the market for a smoothie blender. If you make smoothies often, it is worth it.
How To Make A Pineapple Smoothie:
Buying Pineapple-
Since frozen pineapple is available year-round, I enjoy this smoothie for all seasons. I find bags of frozen pineapple chunks in the grocery store. Although I am picky about buying organic produce in most cases, I am a little more relaxed with pineapple.
The reason is that pineapple has a thick skin. And my theory is that the thicker the skin, especially a skin you will be peeling and discarding, there is less of a chance of chemicals or pesticide residue to reach the edible fruit. This is a decision you will have to make for yourself based on what you are comfortable with.
Fruits with thick skins I do not worry as much about buying organic, however, if the price is right and it is available, I would choose organic. Most of the pineapple I consume is not organic.
What Other Fruit Goes Well With Pineapple?
- Berries (blueberries, strawberries, etc…)
- Bananas
- Mango
- Oranges
- Apples
- Pears
- Peaches
The right combination of ingredients to liquid and types of fruits, vegetables, and add-ins will determine smoothie success.
