Ingredients & Substitutions
- Blueberries. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. Use the best-quality berries you can as they provide this smoothie with so much flavor.
- Pineapple. It is best to use frozen pineapple for this recipe as it gives the smoothie a delicious texture and keeps it chilled. You can cut a fresh pineapple into small chunks and pop them in an airtight container or bag in the freezer overnight. If you don't have frozen pineapple, fresh will also work.
- Frozen banana. This makes the smoothie thick, creamy, and sweet. To make this blueberry smoothie without banana simply substitute the banana for coconut cream, chia seeds, yogurt, or even avocado (my personal favorite).
- Nut butter. Use your favorite nut butter of your choice. I'm an almond butter addict so that's definitely my go-to but any kind will work for this recipe.
- Ground flax seeds. This is a personal favorite ingredient. It adds hormone-balancing qualities and extra protein. You can substitute with chia seeds if preferred.
- Coconut milk. I love combining coconut milk with pineapple as it gives a delicious tropical flavor - but you can easily substitute it with any other preferred non-dairy milk variety.
Optional Add-Ins
- A small bunch of baby spinach or kale
- A scoop of vanilla protein powder
- ¼ cup coconut flakes
- A scoop of collagen powder
- A tablespoon of hemp seeds
- ¼ cup of almonds

STORING YOUR SMOOTHIE
FRIDGE
Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately after blending. But you can also store them in an airtight jar in the fridge for 1 - 2 days. The smoothie might separate slightly while stored - but just give it a quick stir before enjoying it!
FREEZER
You can also freeze your blueberry pineapple smoothie. Place it in an airtight freezer-safe jar, and freeze for up to 3 months. To defrost the smoothie, place it in the fridge the night before you want to drink it. Then stir and enjoy the next day!

ARE BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIES GOOD FOR YOU?
Blueberries are often labeled superfoods because they are highly nutritious and low in calories. 1 cup of blueberries (this smoothie has 2 cups!) has 4 grams of fiber, 24% of Vitamin C's RDI, and 36% of Vitamin K's RDI. Blueberries are also incredibly high in antioxidant levels.
This makes blueberry smoothies incredibly good for you - and this smoothie has even more health benefits due to all the other healthy ingredients in it. This smoothie has a good balance of protein, healthy fats, and carbs!
