This vegan pineapple smoothie looks a bit like sunshine in a glass. You only need three ingredients to make this healthy pineapple smoothie, so you can enjoy it in under five minutes.
I like to make this pineapple smoothie with almond milk, but you can also try it with oat milk or even coconut milk if you want to go full tropical.
Pineapple smoothie ideas abound, but I'm completely in love with the simplicity of this recipe.
As you may have noticed already, I am all about simplicity when it comes to smoothies. This is mostly because no one has time to put together 10 ingredients, five of which may require chopping.

What do you need to make this vegan pineapple smoothie?
To make this pineapple smoothie, you need the following:
- Banana — I freeze ripe bananas practically in bulk to have them ready for smoothies. This smoothie calls for a medium banana, but you can also use a small one, as it's there mostly for texture.
- Pineapple — this is the star ingredient of the smoothie and the flavour that you will feel the most because it totally overpowers the banana. I use fresh pineapple for this smoothie but frozen would also work. If you use both frozen banana and pineapple, you may need to add a bit more liquid unless you like your smoothies to have an ice-cream-like consistency. You're going to need the equivalent of 1 cup of pineapple chunks.
- Almond milk — practically any kind of plant-based milk is just fine for this smoothie. I made it with oat milk and it was delicious, but for some reason I believe almond milk pairs better with the flavour of the pineapple. If you use coconut milk, you're practically in for a tropical feast.
How do you make the smoothie?
To make the smoothie, cut the pineapple into chunks, slice the banana if you froze it whole, and add both ingredients in a powerful blender.
Top it up with almond milk, and blend for 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.
This recipe is for a single serving, but you can easily double or even triple it for the entire family to enjoy in the morning.
How can I boost this pineapple smoothie?
If you think this smoothie has the potential to be transformed into a nutritional bomb, you're absolutely right. Some of the things you can add to boost it include:
- 1 tablespoon vegan protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1-2 tablespoon hemp seeds
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- 1 handful baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar or maple syrup if you want it sweeter
- A couple of ice cubes to make it frostier (add them before blending)
This is a pretty flexible recipe, but I recommend trying the 3-ingredient version—I'm sure you'll love the taste of the pineapple and banana on their own.
