Strawberry and pineapple smoothie is also a great meal prep idea. Make a big batch and pour it into mason jars. Grab one mason jar on busy mornings, and your breakfast is sorted.
Ingredients
Strawberries – You need to freeze the strawberries for 5-6 hours. To save time, you can buy frozen strawberries in bulk at Costco or freeze them at home when they are in season. Check my post on how to freeze strawberries.
Banana – Frozen bananas make the smoothie super creamy. Skip adding them if you don’t like bananas in your smoothies.
Pineapple – Choose a ripe and juicy fresh pineapple. Peel the skin using a sharp knife and cut the flesh into cubes. Freeze the cubes for 5-6 hours.
You can use canned pineapple, too. Just drain the liquid in which it was preserved.
Plain Yogurt – I like to add plain yogurt to my smoothies for a creamy texture and to make them more filling. You can use strawberry-flavored yogurt or vanilla yogurt in place of plain yogurt.
Greek yogurt also works excellently.
Milk – Use whole (full-fat), skim, or low-fat milk. Plant-based milk, such as coconut, soy, cashew, oat, almond, etc., also works great in this healthy strawberry pineapple smoothie recipe.
To make the strawberry flavor even more robust, use strawberry milk instead of plain milk.
Sweetener – Depending on whether strawberries and pineapple are sweet, you can add or avoid honey or sugar to sweeten the smoothie. Maple syrup and agave nectar can also be used.
I sometimes add seedless Medjool dates to sweeten my smoothie.

Wash 10-12 strawberries with water. Remove the green leafy part using a knife and chop the strawberries into small pieces. Freeze them for 5-6 hours.

Very good. Very filling. This definitely brings out the strawberry flavor (which is fine with me). All my ingredients were lukewarm except the milk because I had had them out for another reason and this was still good. I did not add the honey because I don’t think it is necessary. Thank you for this recipe and all the extra information.
