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!!

Someone asked this but didn’t see a response. Is canned pineapple ok to use
I did that. No problem.
Saw this posted on someone else’s Facebook page – including your photo – without any attribution. In case you care ;) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=547429281975590&set=a.252467151471806.73155.222105337841321&type=1
The recipe sounds good :-) will definitely try it out. I just want to mention here to KatieB – I don’t see that Ali plagiarized at all since the recipe on her website 1. doesn’t have banana 2. adds cinnamon 3. uses less pineapple….so, HOW is that plagiarism? AND – with smoothies it is SO so easy to just throw a few fruits together and discover that they worked and share it online with friends – this is what Ali did….and Yelem, in the Western World we call plain yughurt Greek yoghurt, dont know where or who started it, but we dont call it Turkish….even if youghurt comes from Turkey, no disrespect meant :-)
Just curious if it would be okay to use pineapple out of the can?
hi i am 12 and i sugjest that you use blue berry greek yougert so it gives it a sweet ness

Has anyone made this an freeze it? Than use later
If so please tell.
I was just wondering if you have the nutrition value on this I just made it it is DELICOUS thank you
Sounds yummy! I will have to try this! But I will probably freeze the pinapple first so I can omit the ice. We never have ice cubes.
İt is mean Turkish yoğurt not Greek yoğurt, does Greeks know also “ayran”? No, since yoğurt from Turkey. Please mention about it as Turkish yoğurt.
Yoğurt is not from Greece from Turkey, is it clear?
