Star Ingredients

You’d never think that such a delightful drink could be so healthy for your heart and supportive to the stomach. Vitamin C is essential for boosting the immune system and assisting in iron absorption. Manganese is a mineral that makes your metabolism march along smoothly. Together, they are a powerful team in keeping our bodies balanced and brimming with health.

• Pineapple and Pineapple Juice – Rich in vitamin C and manganese, high in antioxidants, and contains a good amount of bromelain (digestive enzymes that break down protein) which can aid in digestion.
• Frozen Banana – The best fruit source of vitamin B6, full of fiber, manganese, vitamin C, and 320-400 mg of potassium per banana!
• Plant Milk – Although it depends on which plant-based milk you use, you can be sure that you’re getting at least a small amount of essential fat, fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Equipment You’ll Need

Pineapple banana smoothies are such a cinch to create! It takes only a few minutes and four ingredients from the fridge. Just measure out the fruit, add to the blender, and mix until super smooth and consistently creamy. Your tastebuds will be thrilled!

• Measuring Spoons
• Measuring Cups
• High-Speed Blender
• One large glass or two small glasses
• Straw (we recommend a reusable glass straw, bamboo straw, or metal straw)

Best Banana Pineapple Smoothie Variations

There’s so many fun ways to enjoy this ravishing recipe! You can change the color by adding fruit or veggies, thicken it up into a smoothie bowl, or even make scoopable sorbet. The ideas are limitless. Dare to dream of new tasty and creamy concoctions!

• Silky Sorbet – Create a delectable dessert by decreasing the liquid by ½ cup. Pour into a freezer-safe, covered container and freeze for an hour or two before serving. Scoop into bowls and add any toppings you wish. Substitute the dairy-free milk with water or extra pineapple juice for a full fruit foundation.
• Blended Tropical Smoothie Bowl – Reduce the plant milk by ½ cup to make a thicker consistency. Pour your smoothie into a coconut bowl and garnish with banana slices, pineapple tidbits, coconut flakes, chia or hemp seeds, and thin strips of fresh mango. Yum!
• Create Colorful Combos – Brighten your smoothie with bold colors (as well as added nutrition) by using dark leafy greens or fresh fruit. Experiment with a spinach pineapple banana smoothie in a glorious green hue or a strawberry pineapple banana smoothie painted in a pleasing and perky pink.

How Do I Store My Leftover Smoothie?

Easy-peasy! Just pour any leftover healthy pineapple banana smoothie into a covered glass mason jar or insulated water bottle and refrigerate until later. If your smoothie has gotten too liquified, you can add some ice or more frozen banana (or pineapple) and give it a quick blend. A helpful tip for saving a smoothie for a longer period of time is to freeze it in an ice cube tray (or a couple of trays). If you pour the mixture directly into the trays and freeze it overnight (or for a few hours), all you need to do it throw the cubes into the blender and give it a quick blend! It helps to leave the cubes out at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before blending. Adding a splash of plant milk, pineapple juice, or water will assist the process, too.
