Pineapple Smoothie Bowl – 3 Ingredients

This pineapple smoothie bowl is light, fresh, and tropical. It boasts a sunny yellow hue and plenty of vitamin C. It’s creamy, thick, and scoopable. Serve with your favorite toppings for a delicious breakfast.

Why You’ll Love it:

My son and I love to share this pineapple smoothie bowl for breakfast. It tastes as bright and cheery as it looks!

Pineapple is nectarously sweet with a slight zip. It’s loaded with vitamin C, an essential vitamin for a healthy immune system, skin, and bones. I’ve been making this pineapple bowl on repeat and I have no plans to quit!

It’s just three simple ingredients – pineapple, banana, and a splash of pineapple juice! So simple and SO good.

Key Ingredients:

• Banana – For a creamy texture! A fresh banana works great. The frozen pineapple works as the thickener in this one.
• Frozen pineapple – I buy a huge bag at Costco. Pineapple is rich in flavonoids and phenolic compounds, antioxidants with anticancer and protective effects.
• Pineapple juice – A quarter cup of pineapple juice is the perfect ratio of sweetness and pineapple-y flavor.
• Cold water – Just enough to get everything moving in the blender.

How to Make a Pineapple Smoothie Bowl:

This smoothie bowl is a breeze to make! Here’s how:

• Combine ingredients: In your blender, combine the banana, frozen pineapple, juice, and water. Add the banana first. It’s soft and gets the blades moving!
• Blend: Turn your blender on low speed, then gradually increase the speed.
• Scrape: If the mixture stops moving, stop the blender. Scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula and push the mixture toward the blades. Blend again until thick and smooth!

• Adjust: Check for taste and consistency. If you like it sweeter, add some honey.
• Serve: If necessary, remove the blade from the blender. Use a large spoon to scoop the mixture into a bowl. Add your favorite toppings!

Smoothie Bowl Tips:

• For an ultra-thick smoothie bowl, reduce the liquid by a couple tablespoons. I prefer a thick yet soft smoothie. I don’t want to have to stop the blender a bunch of times.
• Stop the blender if necessary. If the mixture stops moving, stop your blender and use a spatula to push the mixture towards the blades. Do this as often as you need to.
• If possible, use a high-speed blender. You don’t have to spend an arm and a leg on one. Even budget-friendly brands carry high-speed models. If you do have money to invest, I highly recommend a Vitamix.
• For a sweeter smoothie, swap the water with more juice or add a teaspoon of honey, maple syrup, or light agave.

Topping Ideas:

My favorite part about this pineapple smoothie bowl is the toppings! The options are endless and the best thing you can do is take a peek in your pantry.

Here’s a few ideas to get you started:

• Coconut – Shredded or chips
• Nuts – Cashews, sliced almonds, pistachios, pecans, walnuts.
• Seeds – Chia seeds, hemp hearts, flax seeds, pepitas.
• Fruit – Berries, kiwi, sliced bananas, mango, pineapple, oranges, pomegranate.
• Dried fruit – Cherries, cranberries, raisins.
• Granola – Any flavor!
