The Ultimate Pineapple Smoothie!

This Banana Pineapple Smoothie is a quick, easy, delicious, creamy, and refreshing healthy breakfast or snack!

 This tropical pineapple smoothie is vegan, dairy-free, and the perfect sweet treat. 

This is one of my favorite summertime smoothies.  Since you make it yourself, you control the ingredients.  My favorite milk of choice is coconut milk.

You could easily omit the banana and it would still be an amazing smoothie.  In that case, I would use extra ice or frozen pineapple to get the consistency of a cold, creamy beverage.

And if in the mood, a splash of rum goes great with this banana pineapple smoothie!
