This ​​Pineapple Avocado Smoothie tastes like summer in a glass. Made with pineapple, yogurt, avocado, and banana, each sip is even creamier than the last!
Each sip of this ultra smooth and creamy Pineapple Avocado Smoothie will make you feel like you’re standing on the beach. Made with refreshing pineapple and creamy avocado, this tasty tropical smoothie has loads of fresh summer flavors. Pineapple isn’t just for cocktails and salsas anymore!
This easy pineapple smoothie with yogurt reminds me of my Pina Colada Smoothie. It’s just as creamy and refreshing, but made with a few extra ingredients so you can enjoy it as a filling snack or quick breakfast. I added avocado, banana, and Greek yogurt, but you can always add more, like honey, coconut, chia seeds, or mango!
Recipe features
- The best and most refreshing summertime smoothie.
- All you need are 5 easy ingredients.
- Each sip is creamy, luscious, and tropical tasting!
Ingredient notes:
- Pineapple - Frozen is best! You can use fresh pineapple if it’s all you have at home but you may need to add an extra half frozen banana or ice cubes to thicken it up.
- Avocado - Frozen or fresh avocado will make the smoothie luscious and creamy.
- Banana - Thicken your smoothie by throwing in a frozen banana.
- Greek yogurt - For added protein, probiotics, and creaminess. Feel free to use regular plain yogurt or dairy free coconut yogurt instead.
- Almond milk - Or any dairy free milk you love.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1: Add to a blender. Place all of the ingredients in a high powered blender.
Step 2: Blend and enjoy. Blend until smooth, 30-60 seconds, then sip away!
Tips and FAQs
- Is the smoothie too thick? Add 1 tablespoon of dairy free milk at a time until you reach the desired texture.
- Add some fresh lime or lemon juice to give this smoothie a refreshing kick.
- You can still make this with a regular blender if you don’t own a high powered blender. You’ll need to blend it for a little longer but the smoothie should still turn out nice and smooth.
- Mango, berries, coconut, and mint all pair really nicely with pineapple. Go ahead and add any of these flavorful options to your smoothie if you have them on hand.
- Garnish the glass with a wedge of fresh pineapple, chia seeds, or toasted coconut on top!
Can I make a vegan pineapple smoothie instead?
Of course! All you have to do is swap the Greek yogurt for a plain vegan yogurt. Try to use coconut yogurt, as it pairs so nicely with pineapple.
How can I turn this into a protein smoothie?
Add a scoop of chia seeds, hemp hearts, or your favorite protein powder for added protein.
Can I make it ahead of time?
I recommend drinking the smoothie as soon as it’s ready. Avocado oxidizes and browns really easily, which will affect the flavor if you let the smoothie sit for too long.
