And, if you have leftover smoothies, you can follow our smoothie popsicle recipe to turn the rest into a yummy popsicle.
What You Need to Make a Ginger Pineapple Smoothie
Frozen Pineapple: Look for frozen pineapple chunks. If you can’t find any, cut up a whole pineapple and freeze the chunks. Greek Yogurt: We love using plain Greek yogurt to add a boost of protein to our smoothies. Feel free to use non-fat, low-fat, or even high-fat Greek yogurt. Flax: Adds some healthy fats and texture. Orange Juice: We chose orange juice as the liquid for our smoothie to add a boost of citrusy goodness. Bananas: Helps create a creamy texture for our smoothie. Check out how we freeze bananas for smoothies. Fresh Ginger: We use fresh grated ginger from the ginger root. It makes such a HUGE difference compared to powdered ginger. High-speed blender: We love using our Vitamix for smoothies as it makes the smoothest smoothies.
I don’t have fresh ginger, how much ginger powder should I use?
We recommend halving the amount of fresh ginger to ginger powder. So, use 1 teaspoon.
What can I use in place of orange juice?
If you don’t want to use orange juice, use almond milk, coconut milk, coconut water, oat milk, or any other milk you prefer.
Add Protein Powder!
Every time I make this post-workout with friends, we add 2 scoops of protein powder. Some of our favorite protein powders are Teras Whey, Garden of Life Organic Whey Protein Powder, and Garden of Life Raw Organic Vanilla Protein Powder.
What if I don’t have a blender?
No worries! You can use a food processor instead!
