Preparing The Ingredients

Start by getting fresh or frozen blueberries. Check they’re ripe and juicy if fresh. If using frozen, let them thaw for a few minutes. You want about 1 cup, which adds a nice sweet flavor and a gorgeous color to your smoothie.

Next, grab a fresh pineapple. Cut off the skin, and slice it into chunks. You’ll need about a cup of pineapple chunks. Make sure to remove the core as it can be a bit tough.

You’ll need a cup of almond milk for the base. You can use other plant-based milk if you prefer, like soy or oat.

Get some maple syrup, just a tablespoon or two. This adds some extra sweetness. Taste as you go so it doesn’t overpower the fruits.

Finally, toss in a handful of spinach or kale if you want an extra boost of greens. This ingredient is optional but gives your smoothie a nutritious kick.

With all these ready, you’re set to blend up a delicious smoothie. Make sure each ingredient is fresh for the best taste. Now you’re ready to move on and blend.

Variations To Try

• With greens: Mix it up with some greens. Add a handful of spinach or kale. They boost your smoothie with a punch of nutrients without overpowering the taste.
• With seeds: Try adding a spoonful of chia seeds or flaxseeds. These add extra fiber and healthy fats, making your smoothie even more filling.
• With different milks: Switch things up by using almond milk or oat milk instead of water. It gives your smoothie a creamy texture and a delightful flavor twist.
• With ginger or mint: For some extra zing, toss in a bit of ginger or mint. Both add a fresh taste that complements the sweetness of the fruits.
• With protein powder: Experiment with adding a scoop of plant-based protein powder. This is perfect if you’re looking to make your smoothie more filling and satisfying.

Storage Tips

• When you make a vegan blueberry pineapple smoothie, it’s important to store it properly to keep it fresh.
• First, pour any leftover smoothie into a sealable container. A glass jar with a tight lid works great. This helps keep out any air and keeps your smoothie tasty.
• Keep the smoothie in the fridge if you plan to drink it within a day or two. This helps it stay cold and fresh.
• If you want to store it for longer, freeze it. Pour the smoothie into an ice cube tray and freeze. Later, you can blend the cubes with a bit of plant milk to enjoy it again.
• Before storing, consider if you have included any ingredients that don’t store well. Freshly blended smoothies are the best, so try to only make what you need.
• Mix your stored smoothie before drinking, as it might separate a bit after sitting in the fridge or freezer. Giving it a good shake can help bring it back to its creamy texture.
