This pineapple strawberry smoothie is one of my favorite drinks to make for me and my kids. It’s so refreshing, creamy, and delicious, and it only requires four simple ingredients. It’s perfect for a hot summer day, a quick breakfast, or a healthy snack.
To make this smoothie, I use frozen pineapple chunks, frozen strawberries, bananas, and almond milk. The frozen fruits give the smoothie a thick and frosty texture, and they also add natural sweetness and vitamin C. The banana makes the smoothie smooth and creamy, and the almond milk adds some calcium and protein.
I just blend everything in a blender until smooth and creamy. Sometimes I add some vanilla extract or honey for extra flavor. You can also customize this smoothie by adding other fruits, yogurt, or spinach for a green boost.
