To make your pineapple apple smoothie, you’ll need fresh and simple ingredients.

Start with a juicy pineapple. Cut it into chunks, removing the core and skin. Fresh pineapple gives a naturally sweet flavor. If using canned pineapple, make sure it’s in juice, not syrup.

Next, grab a crispy apple. Core it, then slice it up. There’s no need to peel it unless you prefer.

Add a cup of soy milk or any other plant-based milk. It makes the smoothie creamy.

To help blend everything smoothly, you’ll want some ice cubes. Use a handful to keep your drink cold and refreshing.

Now you’re ready to blend everything together. Get your blender out and put all the ingredients inside. Don’t forget to put the lid on before you start blending!

Once blended, pour your smoothie into a glass. You can enjoy it right away.

  • Mix it up with different fruits. Swap out the apple for a ripe mango or a handful of strawberries. This will add a new twist to the flavors in your smoothie.
  • Add some greens for a healthier touch. A small handful of spinach or kale blends well and boosts nutrients without changing the taste much.
  • Try using different plant-based milks. Almond milk gives a nutty taste, while coconut milk makes the smoothie creamier. Each one offers a unique flavor.
  • For some extra sweetness, throw in a few pitted dates or a splash of maple syrup. It’s a great way to sweeten your smoothie naturally.
  • Don’t forget spices. A pinch of cinnamon or a bit of fresh ginger can add a warming touch. These simple additions make your smoothie even more special.
  • For a tropical vibe, throw in a little coconut flakes or even some papaya. These additions can make your drink feel like a day at the beach.

Storage Tips

  • When you have some leftover vegan pineapple apple smoothie, keep it in the fridge. Use a glass jar with a tight lid. This helps to keep it fresh for a couple of days.
  • Make sure to fill the jar up to the top. This keeps air out, preventing the smoothie from changing taste. If you have more smoothie, split it into multiple jars.
  • If you want to store it longer, freeze it. Pour your smoothie into ice cube trays. This makes it easy to take small portions. Just blend the cubes with a little water or plant milk when you’re ready to enjoy it again.
  • Don’t forget to label your containers with the date. It’s easy to lose track of how long it’s been in the freezer. A simple sticker or masking tape works great for this.
  • Thaw frozen smoothie cubes in the fridge overnight if you want them soft by morning. Otherwise, you can just pop them straight into the blender. This way, you have a quick, ready-to-go drink.
