Pineapple Banana Smoothie Recipe

Grab those blenders, and let’s make a quick pineapple banana smoothie for a healthy breakfast or post-workout fuel.

Thanks to the banana and yogurt, it’s a creamy, ice-cold beverage with delicious tropical flavor from frozen pineapple pieces and pineapple juice.

The banana provides a creamy flavor, fiber, and antioxidants, while pineapple gives this smoothie a tangy flavor and tons of vitamin C and manganese. Each cup of pineapple has only 80 calories and packs 131% of the RDI for vitamin C and 76% of the RDI for manganese.

You can serve it for a refreshing part of a balanced breakfast or replenish yourself quickly after a workout.

Pineapple Banana Smoothie Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to make this tropical-tasting pineapple banana smoothie: 

• pineapple juice: bottled pineapple juice has the best flavor but you can also use canned. 
• banana: this is the recipe where you can put that frozen banana to use. If you use fresh, the riper the banana the sweeter the flavor. 
• pineapple chunks: frozen pineapple chunks will give this a frostier, thicker texture. 
• vanilla yogurt: use regular vanilla or Greek yogurt for extra protein.

1. Blend
   Add all of the ingredients in the order listed to a blender and blend until smooth. 
2. Sip up!
   Divide the smoothie into 2 glasses, grab a straw, and sip away.
