Developing quick and simple nutritious breakfast recipes is what I’m known for— and this delicious strawberry-pineapple-banana breakfast smoothie ticks all the boxes! Follow my easy recipe tutorial to make this refreshing strawberry pineapple smoothie in just 5 minutes with the help of a high-powered blender or Nutribullet. Recipe uses almond milk (or a milk of your choice), pb, and frozen fruit for ease.

I've been craving a mega refreshing fruit smoothie recipe like nobody's business! While I tend to throw every fruit and veg in the blender (I am a dietitian) and pray for a miracle, they often taste less delish than I'd hoped.
You may or may not know that I'm a restaurateur! Yep, I co-own a smoothie and health food café called Alchemy, so I consider myself a smoothie pro.
Like my mango smoothie with peanut butter, this beautiful blend is a beyond delish AND it's filling thanks to the protein and healthy fat boost! An epic tropical smoothie packed with good-for-you ingredients plus a couple you may not expect.
Starring ingrediens
- Strawberries: I developed this recipe specifically with flavorful frozen strawberries. I tested it with whole frozen and sliced and they both work! Did I mention this has nearly 8g of filling fiber and plant protein, plus over 100% of the daily value of immune-boosting vitamin C?!
- Pineapple: Love me some frozen pineapple tidbits! You can also use fresh and add a few ice cubes.
- Banana: We're actually using a fresh ripe banana since we're going frozen for the other fruits. I've tried this smoothie with frozen banana and it's too thick. Know that this is by no means an overly sweet smoothie!
- Peanut butter: I like natural salted peanut butter, like in my peanut butter and jelly smoothie. This adds so much creaminess and a fab flavor compliment to the tropical fruit; don't skip it! Psst: The key to a filling smoothie is balancing fruit with protein and healthy fats like peanut butter so that your blood sugar stays stable.
- Coconut: For tropical flavor! I love unsweetened shredded but flaked also works, as does good old sweetened coconut if that's what you have in the pantry.
- Almond milk: Any milk, regular or non-dairy, will work. I tested this with half orange juice for more bright flavor, and it's incredible that way! Or even a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Coconut water is another option for a sweeter smoothie if an almond milk smoothie isn't your jam.
Let's make it
This morning smoothie recipe could not be easier! I get it-- wholesome ideas for breakfast can be tough!
Throw all your ingredients in a blender. I use my Nutribullet.
Pour into a glass, add a straw [or perhaps a tiny umbrella, pretend you're on a beach], and sip away the goodness.
So you want to add somethin'...
- Greens: Make it a green power smoothie with a handful of fresh spinach, kale, or chard. I make this smoothie with a huge handful of baby spinach all the time and you can't taste it!
- Protein powder: Add a scoop of protein or collagen to give it extra staying power. When I make this with vanilla collagen peptides, it's awesome because you barely taste it.
- Citrus: I love a squeeze of lemon or lime juice here for brightness and vitamin C!
I hope you love this recipe as much as I do!
