Refreshing, sweet, protein-packed Pineapple Berry Smoothie: made with Greek yogurt, strawberries, blueberries and almond milk, these smoothies are perfect for breakfast or a snack.
After a long weekend of eating Foods that Shall Not Be Named, it’s time for a refreshing pineapple berry smoothie!
Erik and I spent the weekend making pizzas with all of our favorite toppings: pineapples, jalapenos, mushrooms, minced garlic and tomatoes. My goodness, these pizzas were unbelievable. They just hit every freaking spot.
But, alas, those spots are now worn out and need a break. You know, to rejuvenate for more stimulation next weekend. Hmm… suddenly what I’m writing is leading to a distinct eyebrow raise. Awwwkard. Moving on!
If you’ve had a weekend like ours, which may or may not have included buffalo bagels (!!!) with an embarrassingly large serving of fresh-made cream cheese, then you’re gonna need one/maybe two of these smoothies.
The Pineapple Berry Smoothie is amazing for a couple (or more, but I need to be modest on a weekday. Sigh.;) reasons. They’re:
- Packed with protein-rich yogurt goodness
- Just the right amount of sweet, with a hint of berry tang
- Super quick, super easy to make
- Yummy on so many levels. Each time you take a sip, you’ll appreciate the taste of each ingredient
- Made with pineapples, strawberries and blueberries (delicious combo, much?)
- And… well, I have to stop now. Because. Modesty? (Overrated, if you ask me.)
Simply take out your blender, pop in Greek yogurt, frozen bananas and almond milk, and blend until it’s all silky smooth. Then, add in a delightful bounty of strawberries, blueberries and pineapple. Blend it like you’re whirring away all memories of those Foods that Shall Not Be Named you ate this weekend.
Then pour, sip and feel better about yourself. Like, instantly.

February 17, 2016 at 11:52 pmFirst: this smoothie is gorgeous! I love the brilliant purple color the berries make from blending all together. Next: my favorite junk food would have to be anything sweet–usually ice cream or chocolate! I’m a big fan of strawberries and pineapple in my smoothies. There’s a great tropical blend of frozen fruit I usually reach for when I’m making smoothies, it’s super convenient and consistently delicious! P.S. I love your blog!

February 18, 2016 at 9:16 amFirst: thank you! I just love berries! Next: Omigosh, I’m right there with you. Ice cream and chocolate are the best. But when you put those two together, even better. Haha. As for the fruits, I totally agree. Thank you for stopping by Jessica! Hope to see you again soon. 🙂

February 17, 2016 at 8:07 pmI ate all the things this weekend too, but it was because I was sick and so I threw “healthy eating” out the window 🙂 I need this smoothie for the vitamin boost! And I love that color! Give me all the pineapple, it is my favorite thing in smoothies! Pinning it!

February 16, 2016 at 7:20 amBeautiful smoothies, Demeter! They sound SOO freaking delicious and just perfect for a little post-weekend detox. In answer to your questions of the day… Foods that shall not be named: anything fried from our local DQ or Culvers. That’s mine and my husband’s weak spot. If I don’t plan an evening snack/dessert, it’s like invasion of the body snatchers… we unwillingly go through the drive through and then, again, unwillingly, eat it ALL (full disclosure: this also may include ice cream/frozen custard) hence, I REALLY try to make sure that we have decent snacks on hand… Fav fruits in smoothies? I tend not to discriminate when it comes to smoothies, but I’m definitely partial to cherries of any kind 🙂

February 16, 2016 at 8:02 amThanks Stephanie! After those bagels, I needed some detoxing, ya know? 😉 Oh man… fried food from DQ? Excuse me while my mouth waters… It’s so not helpful when you have the same weak spot as your man- this I say from personal experience with Erik. If one of us even whispers “pizza,” it’s all OVER! Haha. And that drive-thru! Oy… who can resist the frozen custard and ice cream (and all of the other goodies??) I agree that it’s a smart move to have decent snacks around. It’s kinda why I got into baking (and mostly for my mom- she’s pre-diabetic). You feel so much better knowing exactly what you put into the food, you know? Anyway, YES on the cherries! Cherries have a sweetness that is pretty much unparalleled. YUM!

P.S. Sounds like you had a fabulous weekend! Yay to that… and pizza. and bagels. 😉
