This dairy-free Pineapple Banana Smoothie is light and refreshing, perfect with breakfast or as a snack any time throughout the day.
If the gray skies of January have you dreaming of warm summer days, mix up a batch of smoothies this morning and your mood is sure to improve!
Banana Pineapple Smoothie
The sweetness of the fruit is balanced nicely with the slightly tart pineapple in this drink. Without adding more than a hint of coconut flavor, coconut water creates a much lighter smoothie than the alternative dairy-based smoothies.
I like to add frozen bananas to our smoothies, but if you don’t happen to have a frozen banana on hand, a regular one will still serve to thicken the smoothie nicely. (I keep a bag of ripe peeled bananas in the freezer at all times for this reason.)
My family is laughably passionate in their love of smoothies. (That might have something to do with the reason why there are over 50 smoothie recipes on this website!) On almost any given day, you’re likely to find our blender on the counter making smoothies in almost every color of the rainbow.
Pineapple Orange Smoothie
The orange juice in this smoothie serves to sweeten the drink perfectly and that sweetness does a great job of balancing the tart pineapple.
You’ll notice that this smoothie calls for Coconut Water Ice Cubes. We rarely manage to go through a full container of coconut water, so these coconut ice cubes are a staple in our freezer.
If you don’t keep coconut water (or coconut ice cubes) on hand, you can easily swap in plain ice cubes or plain water instead.
And if you love the combination of pineapple and orange as much as we do, you’ll want to put the Pineapple Orange Julius on your list to try soon.
Pineapple Banana Smoothie
You’ll need the following ingredients to make this recipe:
- frozen pineapple chunks
- banana, frozen or not
- orange juice
- coconut water ice cubes or plain coconut water
Kitchen Tip: I use this blender or this blender to make my smoothies.
More Smoothie Recipes
From Green Smoothies that don’t taste the tiniest bit green, to dozens of fruit and vegetable-filled smoothie recipes, there are so many breakfast smoothies here to try!
My boys have loved the Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie for breakfast and for a dessert treat for years and the Blueberry Spinach Smoothie is another often requested favorite.
My personal favorite these days is the Pina Colada Smoothie, and the current reader favorite is the Deliciously Ugly Smoothie. There really is a smoothie for everyone’s tastes like a Simple Orange Banana Smoothie.
Last but not least, for a grown-up treat that any pineapple lover will adore, you’ll want to save this recipe for Pineapple Mojitos too!
