This pineapple peach smoothie is all about sunny fruit flavor in a quick, creamy blend. Juicy pineapple brings a bright tropical taste, sweet peach makes it mellow and fragrant, banana gives the smoothie body, coconut milk adds a soft island-style finish, and a squeeze of lime keeps every sip fresh. It is a colorful fruit smoothie for breakfast, snack time, or any afternoon that needs a little sunshine.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup sliced peaches, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 medium banana
- 3/4 cup coconut milk beverage, chilled
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup ice, if using fresh fruit or if you want it thicker
How To Make It
Add the coconut milk to the blender first so the blades can move easily. Add the pineapple, peaches, banana, lime juice, and ice if using. Blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely creamy and the fruit is fully blended.
Check the texture before serving. If the smoothie is too thick, splash in 2 to 4 tablespoons more coconut milk and blend again. If you want a frostier smoothie, add a few more ice cubes or a small handful of frozen pineapple. Pour into one large glass or two small glasses and serve right away while it is cold and bright.
Tips
- Frozen pineapple gives this smoothie the thickest, most refreshing texture. If your pineapple is fresh, use frozen peaches or add extra ice.
- A ripe banana is best because it blends smoothly and adds natural sweetness without taking over the pineapple-peach flavor.
- Use coconut milk beverage from a carton for a lighter sip, or light canned coconut milk for a richer, creamier smoothie.
- Lime is small but important here. It balances the sweetness and makes the tropical fruit flavors pop.
- For a smoothie bowl, reduce the coconut milk to 1/2 cup, blend thick, and top with granola, coconut flakes, or diced peach.
- Taste before pouring. Fruit sweetness can vary, so add a tiny drizzle of honey only if your peaches or pineapple are very tart.
