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!!

Did you make this?Let me know how it turned out in the comments below!
Anyone have the nutrition facts on this?
I think it comes out to somewhere in the 300-350 calorie range (depending on whether you use pineapple juice or water and if you use non-fat or regular greek yogurt). It would be a great breakfast smoothie!
Made this with plain Greek yogurt, minus ginger, plus a few drops of vanilla. Yum!
I made this for breakfast this morning and it was great! I used plain greek yogurt, so added some vanilla extract for a little extra flavor.
I made this smoothie this afternoon after wondering what to do with some very ripe pineapple and it was delicious! My daughter and I both loved it! Thankyou :)
adding to my collection of delish smoothies! Thanks so much <3
Hello to all my friends on here. I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve tried this “smoothie” with “ginger.” Let’s just say my special tush place is now on fire. So thank youuuu Ali and her “tips” for a fired up bun!!
Just made this for the first time with Coconut Milk instead of Yogurt, I really wanted to love this, wasn’t bad but wasn’t all that great either, a tablespoon of Ginger is way to much, my mouth was burning. Would have been better with a pinch of Ginger for more of a spicy kick try a tsp.
Did you use powdered ginger instead of the fresh ginger that the recipe calls for?
The simplest recipes are always the best, and a great idea about changing the yogurt flavor as a variation.
Made your Pineapple Ginger Smoothie this morning. Used regular vanilla yogurt since I didn’t have Greek on hand. I’m a big fan of Greek yogurt so will definite try it this way in the future. An excellent smoothie… made a good breakfast.
Keep writing.
