Notes

  • If using fresh pineapple, cut it into chunks and freeze them ahead of time. This makes the smoothie cold and refreshing without needing extra ice.
  • Canned pineapple chunks are not recommended, but if you need to use them, make sure to drain the liquid from the can before freezing the chunks.
  • Use good quality, real orange juice. (Not orange flavored drinks!)
  • Substitute plain yogurt if you don't have vanilla. Alternatively, you can use another flavor of yogurt that blends well with citrus flavors.
  • To make your smoothie thinner, add more orange juice. To make it thicker, add more frozen pineapple chunks, or you can add ice.
  • Use other types of juices and/or frozen fruit to make different flavors of smoothies!
  • Time saving tip: Assemble smoothie packs with the frozen pineapple chunks and measured yogurt in advance. Store them in the freezer and simply add orange juice when you're ready to blend.
  • Add a splash of lime or lemon juice for extra zing.
  • Include other tropical fruits like mango or banana for added flavor and nutrition.
  • Add a handful of spinach or kale for a nutrient boost.
  • Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to make the smoothie more filling.
  • Replace half the orange juice with coconut water for a tropical twist.
  • Sprinkle in a little ground ginger or turmeric for added health benefits and a hint of spice.
