Ingredients and Substitutions
- Pineapple chunks (frozen): These create a naturally sweet and thick base, keeping the smoothie chilled without needing ice cubes. If using fresh pineapple chunks, you might want to add a frozen banana or blueberries to maintain the thick texture.
- Blueberries (frozen): Blueberries add antioxidants and a vibrant pop of color! Fresh work too, but frozen provide extra thickness
- Banana: Adds natural sweetness and creamy texture. Substitute with frozen mango chunks if you like smoothies without bananas.
- Chia Seeds: Chia seeds add fiber and thicken the smoothie. Use hemp hearts or flax seeds as an alternative.
- Plant-based milk: I used almond milk for a lower-calorie option, but any plant-based milk like oat, soy, or coconut will work.

How To Make Pineapple Blueberry Banana Smoothie
Blend. Toss all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Sip & Enjoy. Give your smoothie a taste! Add a bit more banana for sweetness, or a splash of milk to thin it out. Enjoy!
Hint: The secret to this smoothie's thick, creamy texture and refreshing chill is using at least 1 frozen fruit! I used frozen pineapple chunks and frozen blueberries for a naturally thick, creamy, and chilled base. But feel free to get creative! Frozen bananas and blueberries or a mix of all three frozen fruits work, as well.
Variations
- Strawberry pineapple blueberry smoothie: Swap blueberries for strawberries for a classic berry twist.
- Kale pineapple blueberry smoothie: Add a handful of kale for a green and nutritious boost.
- Mango pineapple blueberry smoothie: Looking for a banana-free option? Swap the banana with 1 cup of frozen mango chunks for a more intense tropical flavor.
- Spinach pineapple blueberry smoothie: Want a hidden veggie boost? Try adding some spinach for a power-packed smoothie.
- Add protein: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder for a post-workout pick-me-up or to keep you feeling fuller for longer.
- Add nut butter: Blend in 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter for a creamy and nutty flavor boost.
- Add oatmeal: Add 2 tablespoons of rolled oats for a thicker and more filling smoothie.
- Enhance creaminess: For a smoother texture and added richness, mix in ¼ cup of plain vegan Greek yogurt.
- Creamy coconut: Swap the ½ cup of plant-based milk for ½ cup of full-fat coconut milk for a richer, tropical taste.

Top Tips
- Ripe fruit provides natural sweetness. For extra sweetness, add more banana, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a date.

- Use at least one frozen fruit for a naturally thick, creamy, and chilled smoothie - no ice cubes needed!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Blueberries and pineapple are a fantastic flavor combination. The tart sweetness of the blueberries complements the juicy sweetness of the pineapple beautifully. They can be enjoyed together fresh in salads or yogurt parfaits, or frozen in smoothies for a refreshing and nutritious treat.
I recommend using fresh pineapple for optimal flavor and texture, but canned pineapple can also be used as a convenient alternative. Just remember to drain the juice before blending and use less (about ½ cup) because canned pineapple tends to be sweeter.
Pineapple blueberry banana smoothies can be a helpful drink for weight loss, but it depends on your overall diet. While the fruits provide vitamins and some fiber, they also have natural sugars. To support your weight loss goals, pair it with balanced meals and manage your calorie intake.
Fresh/frozen fruit, granola, or chia seeds add flavor and texture. Nut butter drizzles or dark chocolate shavings create a decadent touch. Sprinkle coconut chips for a tropical twist!
