Many of you longtime followers know that I’m not a big believer in “recipes” when it comes to smoothies. My method of choice is always “a little of this, a little of that”, usually based on whatever fresh produce happens to be hanging around my house.
But a smoothie I made this week happened to be exceptionally tasty. So I decided to snap a quick pic and share it with you all.
It’s basically a simple pineapple smoothie, featuring some healthy Greek yogurt, banana, and my favorite smoothie ingredient — fresh ginger! All in all a delicious, light, and wonderfully fresh tasting citrus smoothie. Feel free to substitute in your favorite citrus fruits, but I happen to be partial to my beloved piña. So pineapple it is for me! Enjoy!!

Can I use protein powder in this as well?
I cannot eat yogurt. What would be a good substitute.
Perfect. Simple. Refreshing!
Sooo good! Made it from my little brother (whos bery picky) and ge loved it too! Also added honey granola clusters to the top for a sweet garnish. Will definitely make again
This was so good! If you like ginger, you’ll love this :-)
If you can not have dairy, can you just add kale or spinach in place of the yogurt?
Hi Beverly! If you cannot have dairy, we would recommend a non-dairy milk (almond/soy/coconut/cashew — any one of those would be great in this). We hope you enjoy!
I will definitely be trying this smoothie in the morning! Ginger is great for digestion, and since I’m usually not a breakfast person, I think it would be something great to start my day with. And pineapple?! YUM! Who could say no to that. Thank you so, so much for sharing <3
You’re welcome Savannah — we hope you enjoy this! :)
