    Ingredient Notes

    ingredients for strawberry banana pineapple smoothie

    The base of this smoothie is four ingredients, of which 3 are freezer friendly. The ingredients are:

    • Frozen banana: I buy a large number of bananas from the grocery store and wait for them to get ripe. I peel the banana, split it into thirds, then put the banana chunks into a freezer-friendly glass container or plastic bag.
    • Frozen pineapple: When the pineapples are on sale, I grab one or two juicy ones. I core the pineapples, chop the pineapple into chunks, then put the chopped pineapple into a freezer-friendly container in the freezer. You can also buy frozen pineapple from the freezer section in your grocery store to save some time.
    • Frozen strawberries: Strawberries are one of the dirty dozen foods that are better to buy organic. I try my best to get organic fresh strawberries, but sometimes I find it overly pricey or difficult to find fresh. So I recommend buying frozen organic strawberries from your grocery store. You can also regular fresh or frozen strawberries if that is all you can find.
    • Dried dates: My favorite dates for smoothies are called Sukari dates. They are softer than Medjool dates, and they blend easier in the blender. If you can't find Sukari dates, then you can use a Medjool date. If you'd like the Medjool date to soften, just put it in some water ahead of time.

    How to Make a Strawberry Smoothie

    Remove the pit from the Medjool date by squeezing the date and removing the hard seed.

    Add the frozen strawberries, frozen banana, pineapple (frozen or fresh), pitted Medjool date, and water to the blender. Blend on high until smooth.

    Tips and Tricks

    There are two big tips when making this strawberry smoothie. One is to adjust the water depending on the consistency you prefer. I usually start with 2 cups of water and then add more depending. If I use fresh pineapple then I will not use more than 2 cups of water because the pineapple is juicy.

    The second big tip is to adjust the sweetness of the smoothie by adding another date or 1 tablespoon of honey. If I have a really sweet pineapple, then most of the time, I only need 1 Medjool date to make this smoothie sweet. Adjust to your own preference.

    Substitutions and Variations

    • Substitute honey for dates. Or, you can go without the added sweetener.
    • Add protein powder. I would recommend vanilla protein powder if adding.
    • Try other fruits and vegetables. To be honest, you can do so much with this base smoothie recipe. You can add a gala apple, Persian cucumber, mango, blueberries, raspberries, and red grapes. Or, if you have some rambutan on hand, try adding that southeast Asian fruit! Not sure what rambutan tastes like? It's delicious.
    • Add some baby spinach. the color of the smoothie will change, but the taste will be great. I still don't get how spinach is virtually tasteless when blended up in a smoothie.

    Some other really delicious fruit smoothies are Banana Peach Yogurt Smoothie, Pineapple Kiwi Green Smoothie, Blueberry Kale Banana Smoothie, and a Pomegranate Smoothie.

    Notes

    1. I batch prepare the fruits ahead of time for my smoothies, so I always have frozen fruit in my freezer. This makes the smoothie very easy to prepare.
    2. You can buy frozen fruit from the grocery store as an alternative to preparing the fruit yourself.
    3. When strawberries, pineapple, or bananas go on sale, I buy a large amount and freeze them.
    4. Add more dates or honey for a sweeter smoothie.
