You’ll love this easy pineapple and banana smoothie. It is full of tropical flavours thanks to the pineapples and is thick enough to double as a smoothie bowl.
Why You’ll Love This Smoothie Recipe
- It uses simple ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to blend together. It’s perfect for when you’re in a rush in the mornings and need something filling!
- This recipe uses frozen pineapple, so you can make it all year round! The frozen fruit also makes this smoothie super thick and creamy.
- This pineapple banana smoothie recipe doesn’t use ice, so you don’t have to worry that the smoothie will get watered down.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- frozen pineapples — I like frozen pineapples as I don’t have to wait for pineapples to be in season. Plus, you can skip cutting it as it can be a pain.
- frozen bananas — you can freeze your own bananas or buy them frozen. This helps keeps the smoothie creamy, thick, and chilly. You can use fresh bananas as well. The more brown spots they have, the sweeter the bananas are.
- Greek yogurt — I use plain Greek yogurt, but you can use flavoured Greek yogurt as well. I love Greek yogurt with vanilla beans.
- maple syrup — to add some sweetness, I add a few drizzles of maple syrup. Make sure to use real maple syrup and not pancake syrup. You can also use honey if you prefer.
How to Make a Pineapple Banana Smoothie
- In a high-powered blender, combine all of the ingredients. Blend until creamy. Add more milk if you want a thinner consistency.
Recipe Tips and Notes
- This pineapple banana smoothie is quite thick so you’ll need a high-speed blender. I have a Vitamix.
- Instead of milk, you can use orange juice or coconut milk to amp up the tropical flavours.
- Add more milk for a thinner smoothie.
- It helps to have the milk at the bottom of the blender so the blades can move more freely. If your blender has a tamper, you’ll need it to push the smoothie around.
You can! Simply use dairy-free yogurt and almond/cashew/oat milk in place of dairy milk.
I don’t recommend making this smoothie more than a day ahead of time as the ingredients will start to separate.
Nuts and seeds, nut butter, avocado, and protein powder make for a great addition to the pineapple banana smoothie. You can even swap the milk for orange juice for a more tropical flavour.
