This blueberry pineapple smoothie is full of healthy benefits and is ready in just 5 minutes! It packs an antioxidant punch from the frozen wild blueberries and spinach, has natural sweetness from the bananas and pineapple, and added protein from some plain Greek yogurt. This delicious smoothie is super easy, satisfying, and kid-friendly too!

Summer is the perfect time for smoothies, but they’re really a great, easy breakfast or snack any time of year. When I was a kid, my mom would make strawberry-banana “milkshake desserts” on weekday mornings as a fast breakfast that was still healthy and filling.

I really thought they were sugary treats, I had no idea that they were just strawberries, bananas, plain yogurt, and ice – no milk or sugar actually involved!

But thanks to the creaminess from the yogurt and sweetness from the banana, it tasted just like a milkshake. This pineapple blueberry smoothie recipe takes inspiration from my mom’s healthy tricks from my childhood. 

The best part? It’s ready in just 5 minutes, it’s super filling and satisfying, it’s kid-friendly (and a great way to sneak in a bunch of fruits and veggies into a picky eater’s diet!), can be taken on the go, and can easily be made vegan too!

🥘 Ingredients

This easy blueberry smoothie calls for just a few simple ingredients you can find at any grocery store!

• Frozen Wild Blueberries: While you can use fresh blueberries, I find that frozen blueberries gives this pineapple blueberry banana smoothie a smoother, creamier consistency. I choose wild blueberries because they have more of an antioxidant punch than regular blueberries!
• Frozen Banana: For sweetness and creaminess. Again, you can use fresh, but frozen is better for a creamy smoothie!
• Fresh Pineapple: I buy pre-cut pineapple chunks to save on prep time!
• Plain Greek Yogurt: I used nonfat Greek yogurt, but you can use lowfat or even full fat for more creaminess. If you want a sweeter, more dessert like feel, use vanilla Greek yogurt (but keep in mind it will have added sugar).
• Baby Spinach: To sneak in those greens! You can also use baby kale (regular kale will have a stronger flavor and more fibrous feel).
• Milk: I used lowfat milk, but any type of milk will work. Unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or any plant based milk will all taste great in this blueberry pineapple spinach smoothie.
• Ground Flax Seed: For added protein and healthy fats.
• Water & Ice Cubes: Add both as needed, to achieve the consistency you want.

📖 Variations

There are so many different ways to customize this pineapple and blueberry smoothie! Here are some of our favorites:

• Strawberry Blueberry Pineapple Smoothie: Either replace the banana with frozen strawberries, or add in 1/2 cup frozen strawberries along with the banana!
• Mango Pineapple Blueberry Smoothie: Replace the banana with 1/4 cup frozen mango, or add in the mango with the rest of the ingredients.
• Blueberry Pineapple Smoothie Without Yogurt: If you’re not a fan of Greek yogurt, you can replace it with your favorite protein powder, or omit it altogether.
• Vegan Blueberry Smoothie: To make this pineapple banana blueberry smoothie dairy free and vegan, use a plant based milk instead of the regular milk, and an unsweetened coconut yogurt (or your favorite plant based yogurt) instead of the Greek yogurt.
• Berry Protein Smoothie: You can add 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder into this easy drink, or you can also try adding in hemp seeds, a tablespoon of chia seeds, or even nut butters for additional protein!

❓Recipe FAQs

💭 Expert Tips

• You can use fresh or frozen fruit – frozen is great for convenience.
• Use a high powered blender for this smoothie – I absolutely love my Vitamix Blender, but I have heard that this blender by CleanBlend is comparable to the Vitamix and is more affordable!
• Drink this pineapple blueberry spinach smoothie as soon as you make it. It will keep in the fridge for up to 12 hours, but you’ll have to re-stir it since the ingredients will separate in the fridge over time.
• To make this smoothie vegan, use a vegan protein powder instead of Greek Yogurt, and swap out the milk for coconut or almond milk (make sure to get the unsweetened variety with no carrageenan).
