Preparing The Ingredients

Start by gathering all your ingredients. You’ll need fresh pineapple, orange juice, and a vegan yogurt of your choice. Make sure the pineapple is juicy and sweet.

Peel and core your pineapple, then chop it into small chunks. This will make it easier to blend. Fresh fruit makes a big difference in taste.

For the orange juice, freshly squeezed works best, but you can use store-bought if you’d like. Check it’s 100% juice for a full, fruity flavor.

Lastly, choose your vegan yogurt. Get one that’s creamy and plain. It adds a nice texture to your smoothie.

Gather these ingredients, and you’re all set to blend them into a refreshing smoothie!

Variations To Try

• Looking to spice up your pineapple orange smoothie? Mix in some fresh spinach for a nutrient boost. It adds a lovely green color and is a fantastic way to sneak in extra veggies.
• You can also try adding a handful of strawberries. They bring a touch of sweetness and a pop of color, making the smoothie even more refreshing.
• For a creamy texture, toss in a few avocado slices. Avocado adds richness and makes the smoothie filling. Don’t worry, the pineapple and orange flavors will still shine through.
• Consider a sprinkle of chia seeds. They’re a great source of fiber and give the smoothie a fun texture. Plus, they’re super healthy.
• A dash of coconut milk can give your smoothie a tropical twist. Coconut milk adds a hint of sweetness and a creamy finish, transforming your drink into a beachy delight.
• Experiment with ginger if you like a little zing. Just a tiny piece can enhance the flavor with some spicy notes.

Storage Tips

After blending your pineapple orange smoothie, you might want to keep it fresh for later.

• Pour any leftover smoothie into an airtight container. Glass jars with tight lids work well for this. Airtight containers help keep the smoothie fresh and prevent it from absorbing flavors from other foods in the fridge.
• Put your smoothie in the fridge if you plan to drink it within a day or two. It should stay fresh for up to 48 hours. Give it a shake or a good stir before drinking to mix everything back up.
• If you need to store it longer, consider freezing. Use freezer-safe containers, leaving some space at the top as liquids expand when frozen. You can also use ice cube trays for easy portioning. Once frozen, you can transfer the smoothie cubes into a freezer bag.
• When you’re ready to drink a frozen smoothie, move it to the fridge to thaw overnight, or let it sit at room temperature for about an hour. Stir or blend it again to get the right texture.
