Why I Love This Pineapple Smoothie Recipe
I love making smoothies for breakfast because they’re quick, easy & always delicious. I love when smoothies are creamy and frothy, and when it’s hot outside – it’s the perfect way to cool off. And that’s why today I’m sharing this pineapple smoothie recipe.
It only has 4 ingredients, and it tastes like sweet sunshine. It has a deliciously sweet and slightly tangy flavor thanks to the pineapple and orange juice. Then it’s thick and creamy because we’re adding in banana and yogurt.

Ingredients and Substitutions
- Pineapple – You can use fresh pineapple or frozen pineapple chunks. If using fresh, you’ll want to make sure the banana is frozen or to add ice to thicken up the smoothie.
- Banana – Fresh or frozen banana is fine. Choose a ripe banana with a bright yellow peel. Slightly green bananas can be bitter and the brown ones are equally unpleasant. If you don’t like bananas, replace them with strawberries or raspberries.
- Orange Juice – Fresh squeezed is great, but usually I just pour from a bottle. You can also switch it up by using pineapple-orange juice or tropical fruit juice instead of orange juice.
- Greek Yogurt – Feel free to use plain or vanilla yogurt. Keep in mind that flavored yogurt can add more sugar.
- Ice – Totally optional, but sometimes I’ll throw in 1 cup of ice cubes for a thicker smoothie.
How to make a Pineapple Smoothie
The pineapple makes this smoothie sweet, tropical and completely delicious. I love the combo of sweet pineapple, tangy citrus, and mellow banana. Then the yogurt helps to keep you full longer and adds calcium.
The directions are simple:
- Add ingredients to a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Pour and enjoy!
How to Freeze Fresh
Pineapple
It’s really easy to freeze fresh pineapple! First cut the skin off of the pineapple, then cut into small chunks (smaller is better for smoothies).
Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lay pineapple out in a single layer. Slide the whole sheet pan into the freezer. Once the pineapple chunks are frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag.
