The Ultimate Pineapple Smoothie!

You’ll love this quick and easy, healthy pineapple smoothie without yogurt. 

Frozen smoothie packs:  in many cases, you can make smoothies ahead by putting all the ingredients in small plastic bags, and when ready to make add the liquid. 

However, in this case, with two ingredients, you would not do that.  Just keep a big bag of frozen pineapple in the freezer.

Frozen 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.

How To Make A Pineapple Smoothie:

Step 1:  Gather the ingredients – chopped frozen pineapple and dairy-free milk (I use unsweetened almond milk).

Step 2:  Place the ingredients in a blender.

For convenience, I really like the Nutribullet blender.  Does not take much counter space, is easy to clean (just rinse out!), and blends my smoothies in minutes!

A high powered blender like the Vita-mix is great as well.  You can use it for everything including hot soups.  It’s a real powerhouse in the kitchen!

Step 3:  Blend all ingredients until completely smooth.

Step 4:  Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Tips and Buying Pineapple:

• Since pineapple has a thick skin, and less vulnerable to chemicals, I use non-organic pineapple.
• Readily available at the grocery store (fresh and frozen).
• Stock up if pineapple goes on sale.

What 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.
