Start your day with this delicious Pineapple Banana Smoothie. It’s a glass of tropical sunshine with a slight and refreshing tanginess.
I know it is not Friday but Wednesday is just as good for smoothies, right? Well, the reason is that I do have a St. Patrick’s Day post planned for Friday. You don’t want to miss that recipe because it is simple yet so delicious! As for this Pineapple Banana Smoothie, it too is equally delicious and very refreshing! 😉
You may have noticed that I have been using unsweetened almond milk as a base for my smoothies lately. I find that it works well with most fruits and is pretty neutral in taste. I am a little more cautious with regular cow’s milk as it can sometimes cause a tummy reaction for me when mixed with certain fruits. So far, almond milk seems to be fine and so I am sticking with it.
I had some frozen chunks of pineapples left in the freezer which I wanted to use up. Mixing it with banana and almond milk makes it a little “milder” and easier on the palate, especially in the mornings. Actually I really like the way it turned out. It was a good pick-me-up for the morning that is refreshingly tangy but not overly so. Love the color too!

March 16, 2013 at 6:12 pmThanks Pam! I like pineapples cooked as it cuts down on the acidity. Mixed in a smoothie with banana is also pretty good. 🙂

March 15, 2013 at 10:24 amAnother great combination for a smoothie! I also use almond milk. I like the texture it adds as opposed to milk. Plus I use the vanilla flavored so I get a little more sweetness. 🙂 Wish I had some frozen pineapples right now! Have a great weekend!

March 16, 2013 at 6:13 pmAlmond milk is a new discovery for me but I prefer it now for my smoothies. 🙂

March 18, 2013 at 11:45 amBoth my kids love smoothies, I tend to use frozen berries which is their favourite. I will definitely try with pineapple, if there is any left – they just love to eat pineapple and the fruits just disappear so fast. I must give this almond milk a try, probably taste better than cow’s milk…
Biren says
March 18, 2013 at 9:21 pmI find pineapples a little on the “sharp” side. Like it much better in a smoothie mixed with banana. Almond milk on its own is okay but it is great in a smoothie. Do give it a try. 🙂

March 30, 2013 at 9:15 pmI became lactose intolerant in my mid-20s so using almond milk is perfect. I’m not good with food in the morning, but this is a smoothie I would definitely be able to stomach before work!

June 20, 2015 at 2:11 pmWonderful recipe ! I’ve discovered Almond Milk and it’s “healthier” than cows milk. I am on a low-card diet and trying to incorporate smoothies into my eating. Would you consider giving nutritional info on your recipes?? I liked the pineapple/banana smoothie but as a diabetic and going low-carb I’m wondering HOW MUCH I can drink. Understand if you prefer not to list, the recipes are great ! Thanks, deb

June 21, 2015 at 9:32 amThank you Deborah for your kind feedback.

I am glad you enjoy my recipes and I hope you will visit often as I will be sharing more of the smoothies I enjoy. All the best with your low carb diet. 🙂

July 3, 2016 at 7:49 pmThis is really good. I hate piña coladas and I thought that I would hate this. I tried because I’m starting a vegan diet and I needed the calories and calcium and I’m impressed. I used unsweetened almond milk and I added like 4 or 5 ice cubes. Actually I’m drinking it right now and I’m so excited that I had to comment. Thank you very much!

March 22, 2018 at 8:12 amCan I use unsweetened powder milk instead, and what about canned pineapple.
Linda says
July 19, 2018 at 10:20 amI think it is best to use fresh ingredients for making smoothies. 🙂
Ashley says
May 17, 2018 at 10:31 amVery yummy. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk and added some frozen blueberries and chia seeds!
Dee says
July 1, 2018 at 8:29 pmSo good! My smoothie didn’t turn out with the same yellow color as shown. I used frozen pineapple. Have you used frozen pineapple and noticed a difference in color from fresh pineapple?
Linda says
July 2, 2018 at 8:55 amYes, I have but never notice the difference in color. Perhaps your pineapple was less ripe. Glad you enjoyed it though. 🙂

January 3, 2019 at 9:41 amVery good, I added flax seed, chia seed and protein powder to mine.
