Helpful Tips and Tricks to Make Vegan Pineapple Smoothie
This pineapple smoothie recipe is pretty fool-proof but here are a few tips that help with making it:
- Add your liquid first – this helps in the blending process.
- Use a high-powered blender if you have one – when using frozen fruit in smoothies, a high-powered blender like a Vitamix really helps. You can make one in a regular blender, but it won’t be as smooth.
- If you’re using a Vitamix, use the tamper to press the ingredients closer to the blade.
- Variations: You can add protein powder or chia seeds to make you feel fuller for longer.
Commonly Asked Questions
1] Can I Make this smoothie ahead of time?
This smooth is best enjoyed straight after, but if you take it to go, it will keep at room temperature for up to an hour. You can also store it in the fridge for up to 1 day. It will separate, so just give it a good shake before drinking
2] I don’t have any frozen pineapple. What should I do?
If your pineapple is all fresh (not frozen) then simply add more ice to your smoothie to cool it down. You may also want to reduce the amount of coconut milk as fresh ingredients make a thinner smoothie.
