Ingredients

Tips & Variations

  • Add a handful of spinach or kale to boost the nutritional value without altering the flavor much.
  • Swap lime juice for lemon juice if you prefer a slightly different citrus note.
  • Use frozen pineapple or banana slices instead of ice for a thicker smoothie.

Storage

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh to retain its vibrant flavor and texture. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and give it a good shake before drinking. Note that the texture may separate upon standing.

How to Serve

Three clear glasses filled with a smooth and creamy pale yellow pineapple smoothie sit on a white marbled surface. Each glass has a textured pattern and is filled almost to the top with the thick smoothie showing tiny bits of pineapple inside. To the right of the glasses, there are two fresh pineapple wedges with a greenish-brown skin and light yellow fruit. The glasses and pineapple pieces are placed on white hexagonal tiles. The background is light and softly blurred, adding a clean and fresh feeling to the scene. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
