Fresh pineapple is one of my all-time favorite fruits. When you pick that perfect piece and it has that wonderful balance of sweet and tart… There is nothing in the world like it! Combine that with the sweet and toasty flavor of coconut and you have got a winning combination!
This was my very first attempt at a simple green smoothie. It was so easy to make and calls for only five ingredients!
Pineapple Green Smoothie Ingredients:
- Coconut Yogurt- I really enjoy Greek yogurt, but any variety will do. A majority of the coconut flavor comes from this addition so pick a quality yogurt.
- Coconut milk- I use sweetened, my husband uses unsweetened. Both versions are so delicious!
- Apple- We stick with tart varieties like granny smith or honey crisp.
- Pineapple- Fresh is best, but when it is out of season you could easily use frozen or canned pineapple.
- Spinach- This is where you get the bright green color and added vitamins!
How to make a tropical green smoothie:
- Combine all ingredients in the blender.
- Blend until smooth.
One ingredient you will notice was left off of the ingredients? Ice.
You are welcome to add a handful to the blender. We haven’t felt that it needed the addition, but occasionally we like to shake things up and add in about 1/2 cup. Personally, I feel like added ice waters down your flavors.
TIP: Try freezing coconut water in your ice cube tray!
Smoothie Recipe Tips:
- For the best smoothie texture start by blending the greens with the liquid. From there add the fruit and other ingredients.
- Skip the ice and use frozen fruit instead.
- Need more of a filling treat? Add protein powder, chia seeds, or hemp seeds.
