You know, I love a classic pineapple banana blueberry smoothie, but sometimes I crave that pure, sweet-tart punch of pineapple (or ananas, as we say here!) and juicy blueberries, and that's when this blueberry pineapple smoothie shines.
I love how the naturally creamy peanut butter adds richness and healthy fats, making it so satisfying.
Trust me, even without the banana, this pineapple & blueberry shake is a winner—vegan, dairy-free, no added sugar, and delicious, proving you don't need yogurt or bananas to create a fantastic smoothie.

Ingredients and Substitutions
- Blueberries: I love using frozen blueberries for their intense flavor and the frosty texture they bring to the smoothie. You can use fresh blueberries as well.
- Pineapple chunks: They add natural sweetness and a tropical flavor, but fresh pineapple works beautifully too, just make sure it's ripe for maximum sweetness.
- Peanut butter: For creaminess and healthy fats, try my homemade peanut butter for an easy DIY option. Cashew butter or almond butter can be used as an alternative.
- Plant-based milk: I used unsweetened almond milk for a light and nutty base, but feel free to substitute with any non-dairy milk you prefer, such as soy, cashew, or oat milk.
As always, you can find the full recipe with a list of ingredients with measurements in a printable recipe card at the end of this post.

Combine: Add frozen blueberries, pineapple chunks, peanut butter, chia seeds, and almond milk in a high-speed blender.

Storage
For the best taste and texture, enjoy your smoothie immediately, but if needed, you can store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours and shake well before drinking.
Variations
- Protein boost: For a protein-packed smoothie, add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder or a tablespoon of hemp seeds.
- Make it sweeter: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a drizzle of maple syrup, agave, or a pitted date for natural sweetness.
- Add greens: Blend in a handful of baby spinach or kale for extra nutrients without altering the taste much.
- More fiber & crunch: Sprinkle in some rolled oats or granola for a more filling smoothie.
- Tropical twist: Swap the almond milk for coconut milk and blend in a tablespoon of shredded coconut for an extra tropical vibe.
Marinela's Tips
