Pineapple Smoothie Recipe

This Pineapple Smoothie is rich, delicious, creamy, and thick enough to serve as a pineapple smoothie bowl or in a glass. It’s a healthy, nutrient-packed way to start your day all-round the year! Best of all, this pineapple smoothie is dairy-free, and no add sugar in it!
With a combination of banana, pineapple and nuts or seeds as its base, this healthy pineapple smoothie tastes as healthy as it sounds. Nuts or nutmeal adds tons of nutrients without affecting the flavor, and the healthy fats in them create a thick, creamy consistency but is also neutral in flavor.
Under 5 mins you will have a banana pineapple smoothie with a thick milkshake consistency packed with deliciousness! It is fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants rich.
Pinepple smoothie is perfect to serve up in a glass or bowl, topped with the toppings of your choice like granola or your favorite cereals. You can also serve it as a breakfast.
Pineapples are high in vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin C and fiber that help to build immunity, prevent constipation and asthma. Pineapple is well known for its unique enzyme called bromelain that is believed to inhibit tumor growths and relieve arthritis and help to digest fats in human body.

Pineapple smoothie is best to consume on its own without any accompaniment for better digestion and absorption of nutrients. Choose fresh pineapple, chop fresh (instead of using refrigerated or frozen or canned), blend fresh and consume fresh for the best health benefits.

Tips
- Use fresh and ripe pineapple for sweeter flavor.
- I prefer to use almond flour but you skip it or use soaked and peeled almonds or cashews.
- Use young ginger for a milder and sweeter flavor.
- Coconut water is nutrient rich and makes a great substitute for any liquid in a smoothie. You may use coconut milk that comes in cartons. Avoid using the canned thick coconut milk
