Pineapple Smoothie Recipe
Aaaah, fresh pineapple! We love it. It’s one of my favorite fruits to include in recipes like Hawaiian Pork Sliders, Pineapple and Coconut Rice, Pineapple Dip, and so many more.
I also love cutting it up and freezing the pieces for smoothies in the summertime.
This pineapple smoothie is a constant during the summer months – it’s so light and refreshing, perfect on a hot day. The only thing that would make this smoothie better is if you were drinking it in Hawaii!
Health Benefits of Pineapple
Pineapple is loaded with nutrients.
- This fruit is great for gut health, reducing bloat and calming down tummy problems.
- It’s hydrating, with a high water content of about 85-89 percent.
- Pineapple contains 20 milligrams of magnesium per cup, so it helps regulate blood pressure and can help you fall asleep at night.
- Another important nutrient pineapples contains is potassium (180 milligrams per cup), which is an important electrolyte that assists with muscle and kidney function.
- Because of pineapple’s high vitamin C, they’re also good for your immune system.
- And while not scientifically proven, I think eating pineapple makes you happy. HA!

Can I use plain yogurt instead of frozen yogurt in this recipe? Should I add some sugar to this if I do that? Thanks!
You can, but I’d still recommend at least using vanilla yogurt or adding in a bit of vanilla extract for flavor. And also a couple cubes of ice for a thicker consistency. Enjoy!
Delicious!
do you buy the yogurt frozen or do you freeze it yourself?
I buy it. Same section as the ice cream :)
Can you use canned pineapple or just fresh?
Canned is fine! But you’ll want to drain it and then freeze it. Or you could also use it as is and add in ice, but the overall flavor will be watered down and not my preference.
I never thought about freezing pineapple to use in smoothies – great idea! This was delicious and perfect in this sweltering heat.
This is amazing!
The ratcheting tool is awesome. Now you can use the empty pineapple “shell” and make yourself a tropical drink.
