Recipe FAQs

How many servings does this orange pineapple banana smoothie recipe make?

This all depends on how much you pour into your smoothie glass to serve! With this recipe, I’d say you could make 3 to 4 medium-sized smoothies.

What do I do if my smoothie is too thick? What do I do if my smoothie is too thin?

If your smoothie ends up a little on the thick side, add some more pineapple juice, and blend it again. If it’s too thin and runny, add more ice and re-blend to incorporate and thicken it up.

Do you need to put ice in smoothies?

I guess you don’t NEED to, but this smoothie won’t be as cold and thick without ice. If you’d like, you can peel and freeze bananas so they’re ready to make smoothies and add the frozen element instead of ice.

Expert Tips

If you want to get really creative,try pouring the blended-up mixture into popsicle molds and sticking them in the freezer for a few hours! Homemade popsicles will win you at least 5 “cool mom” points, and that’s a feat most of us can only dream of!
When buying your pineapple juice,make sure the label says 100% juiceon it somewhere so that you can get the most nutrition out of it.
For added creaminess,freeze your banana beforehand. Having bananas in the freezer is such a life hack because then you can make smoothies, banana bread, etc. whenever the craving strikes!
