Pineapple Pomegranate Smoothie

Sweet yet tart, creamy, and oh so fruity, this insanely simple Pineapple Pomegranate Smoothie can be ready in 5 minutes and is sure to fill your belly!

My mom has been on a smoothie kick for a while, and now that I’m back closer to family, she’s inspired me to start drinking more of them.

This summer, I’m all about tasty and easy fruit smoothies! Fresh fruit is plentiful in our local farmer’s markets and grocery stores, and my fridge is fully stocked with everything I need to make a tasty smoothie. I’ve been using Silk Almond Coconut Blend to add a guilt-free tropical flair to my recipes.

We recently picked up some fresh pineapple and pomegranate and were curious how they would taste together. The pineapple added some sweetness, and the pomegranate had a tart flavour.

What to Serve with It

These smoothie drinks can be used as meal replacements or desserts. You can also enjoy a fruit smoothie as a snack, or alongside a light lunch. Here are some ideas you can enjoy with your smoothie: 

• Pineapple Cake
• Pineapple Pie
• Pineapple Rice Pudding
• Any delicious salad
• Sandwiches and Soups

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• I like to use frozen pineapple and banana in smoothies because it enhances the fact that it’s naturally cold. If you only have fresh fruit, you can add a little bit of ice in your blender to bring that extra chill.
• Add some silken tofu if you want to make your smoothie thick and creamy. It takes on the flavor of whatever you put in it, and neither you nor the kids will know it’s there. It adds a nice punch of protein. You can also add more bananas or avocado.
• When making a smoothie, start by using your blender at a low speed and work your way up to a high speed so it blends all of the ingredients appropriately. 

Variations and Substitutions

It’s very easy to swap things out in this recipe. You can trade out your milk or milk alternative, swap out your fruit choices, and vary the thickness of your smoothie. 

Add in other things. Here are some great additions: cinnamon, other fruit, vanilla extract, yogurt, Greek yogurt, protein powder, etc. 

Storage Instructions

This smoothie is best enjoyed right after it is made, but you can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. 

Be sure to give your homemade smoothie a good stir before you sip it again. Pomegranate Pineapple Smoothies tend to separate when stored in the refrigerator. 

Can I Double This Recipe? 

It’s super simple to double this recipe and make four smoothie servings. You can also increase this to make more; just remember that it all needs to fit in the blender, so you may need to work in batches. 

How to Thicken?

If you find that your smoothie is a little thicker than you would like it to be, add some other thickening ingredients, such as yogurt, tofu, or more fruit, pineapple, and banana. 

My Smoothie is Too Thick- Help!

Don’t worry, my friend; I have you covered! If your smoothie is fruit-heavy, it’s super easy to end up with a thick smoothie. To thin it out, add some more milk or a milk alternative.

I recommend adding your milk or milk alternative to the pineapple and pomegranate smoothie in small increments. It will thin it out faster than you think. Adding a tablespoon at a time should do the trick; add it slowly. 

Can You Make This in Advance?

You can make these delicious Pineapple Pomegranate Smoothies a bit in advance and then store them in the fridge, or better yet, store your smoothie in the freezer. 

Once you freeze your smoothie, you can thaw it in the fridge and adjust the thickness as needed. Note that you may need to thicken or thin it out as necessary after you freeze it. 

You may also choose to freeze your smoothies in popsicle molds. This is a great way to enjoy your smoothies again and again. When you’re ready to enjoy a smoothie pop, all you have to do is pop one out of the molds, and boom, you’re ready to enjoy!
