Expert Tips

  • I like to use frozen pineapple but fresh will work great too. Just add ½ cup of ice cubes to the blender if you're using fresh pineapple.
  • To make your smoothie thinner, add small amounts of water, milk or juice and process for 10-15 seconds.
  • To make a smoothie thicker, add additional fruit, ice, or yogurt and process for 20-30 seconds.

    Loving all the flavors in this smoothie. Especially loving that it's only sweetened with honey. I'm here in TX too and this looks like a tasty way to cool down!
