This pineapple banana smoothie has a whole orange, some banana, and a touch of ginger. It’s a bright and fresh way to start the day! See the recipe notes for some tips and tricks in making your smoothie.
I used a high-speed blender to make my smoothie, which can easily break down peeled orange segments. If your blender is not high-speed, you can squeeze the juice from the orange and add it to the smoothie. If you do this, add a few more pineapple chunks.
Sometimes you can find frozen sliced bananas at the store, but it’s easy to freeze them yourself. Slice the bananas and place the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer until the slices are frozen (about 30 minutes or so). Transfer the slices to a freezer bag and keep them frozen.
Milk: Any kind of milk you like will work. I use unsweetened almond milk (that’s what’s used to calculate the nutrition estimate), but other kinds of dairy-free milk or regular milk will work. When I want a richer smoothie, I use whole milk.
If you love ginger, increase the amount to 1 teaspoon for an extra kick of flavor. I buy tubes of ginger paste because itโs super easy to measure and add to the smoothie, but the same amount of grated fresh ginger works, too. I love the flavor it adds โ sort of a zingy surprise!ย
I like a drinkable smoothie (not too thick) but feel free to adjust the ingredients to get a perfect consistency for you. Add more milk to thin it or reduce the amount to thicken it.ย
