Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie

This strawberry pineapple smoothie is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or give yourself a refreshing boost. Naturally sweetened with fruits, it’s also quick and easy to make, and can be customized to your taste preferences.

Strawberry is definitely one of the fruits that best blend with pineapple. They are juicy and slightly tart, while pineapples are sweet and tangy. When blended together in a smoothie, they create a delicious balance of flavors that is both refreshing and satisfying.

Plus, both fruits are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, making them a nutritious choice for a smoothie. So, if you haven’t tried this combination before, I definitely recommend giving it a try.

This deliciously creamy strawberry pineapple smoothie can be enjoyed as a healthy breakfast, a filling snack, or on the go. It’s a great way to get a variety of nutrients in one delicious drink!

Ingredients you’ll need

You only need a handful of ingredients, which you may already have in your kitchen if you’re anything like me.

• Frozen Strawberries: Use frozen strawberries for a thick, creamy smoothie. They also help sweeten the smoothie and add a vibrant color.
• Frozen Pineapple Chunks: Pineapple provides a creamy and sweet base, as well as a burst of tropical flavor, making the smoothie more refreshing.
• Banana: Ripe bananas make the smoothie creamy, add a velvety texture, and make it more filling. Use fresh bananas for this recipe, as they blend more easily. However, if you have a high-quality blender, you can also use frozen bananas.
• Almond Butter: Natural almond butter adds healthy fats and makes the smoothie filling. Any nut or seed butter works, like peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter. Note that the flavor might change.
• Hemp Seeds: For a boost of healthy fats, omegas, and minerals. They also add fiber and protein. You can add flax or chia seeds instead. It’s optional but helps make the smoothie more filling.
• Ground Cinnamon: The addition of cinnamon brings a subtle but noticeable flavor that complements the overall natural sweet taste.
• Almond Milk: Unsweetened almond milk is one of my favorite liquid base for smoothies. It tastes great, it’s low in calories, and it’s available everywhere. You can use any milk of your choice. Use plant milk (oat, soy, cashew, coconut) to make this smoothie dairy-free and vegan if necessary. Soy milk is great for added protein. If you want to make this smoothie without milk of any kind, use water instead.

How to make strawberry pineapple smoothie

This is one of the quickest and simplest smoothies you can make, perfect for busy mornings or when you need a quick pick-me-up.

Simply combine all ingredients in a blender, and blend until completely smooth and creamy. Taste the smoothie and add additional milk if it is too thick. And that’s it.

Note that you do not need a high-dollar blender to make this smoothie. If you use a high-powered blender (like Vitamix or Blendtec), your smoothie will have a finer, more even consistency. But you can certainly make this recipe in a regular blender too. I usually use my Nutribullet for individual smoothies, and it works great.

Tips & recipe notes

• Use frozen fruits for a thick, creamy smoothie. If you don’t have them on hand, simply make this strawberry pineapple smoothie with fresh fruit. You can add some ice cubes to create a chilled and refreshing drink.
• Play around with the liquid amount! If your smoothie is too thick, add more milk or water a few tablespoons at a time. If it is too thin, add more fruits.
• If you do have a high-speed blender, start on low speed, then gradually increase the speed to high to help blend all ingredients. This is particularly important when using a small amount of liquid.
• I find this smoothie sweet enough, however, you can sweeten it up by adding maple syrup, honey, or pitted medjool dates.

Variations & additions

Make your strawberry pineapple smoothie unique by adding your preferred nutrient boosters and mix-ins. Here are some ideas:

• I made this strawberry pineapple smoothie without yogurt, but feel free to add some if you prefer, such as greek yogurt or soy yogurt for a dairy-free version.
• Easily add more protein to a smoothie by adding 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder.
• Want more nutrients? Try adding a handful of spinach or kale to it. The taste will be great, but note that the color will change.
• You can also add rolled oats for extra fiber.
• Add coconut milk instead of almond milk for a creamy, tropical twist.
• If you want to make this smoothie without banana, simply omit it, or try adding frozen cauliflower rice instead. Remember to adjust the texture and the sweetness to your liking.
