This Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie is a great smoothie recipe that is so refreshing. The strawberries and pineapple flavors make a delicious and nutritious beverage that kids will love too!
This smoothie recipe has only has four ingredients in it with one being water. Two of the ingredients are a couple of my favorite fruits…strawberries and pineapple. The fourth ingredient is ground flax seed.
During strawberry season we love getting them from our local farmers market. Strawberries make a great addition to smoothies. They taste amazing and are high in Vitamin C and antioxidants.
When making smoothies, I like to add some frozen fruit into the mix. The frozen fruit works as ice to chill the smoothies and then you don’t lose any flavor like if you were to add ice cubes.
Need frozen pineapple? You can find bags of frozen pineapple in the frozen section of your grocery store. If you want to freeze your own pineapple, here is a great source on freezing it.
Ground flax seed is a another great addition to smoothies because it has healthy benefits like being high in fiber and omega-3 fats and as well as vitamins and minerals. It also adds protein to your smoothie. Here is a great article on flax seeds and their benefits.
This Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie is really easy to make. It is one of my favorites. The strawberry and pineapple flavors seem to go so well together!
Smoothies are a great way to get nutritious foods into you kids without them even realizing it. My daughter loves smoothies and this one is one of her favorites.
How to make a Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie:
Rinse your strawberries under warm water and discard the green stems. Slice up the berries and measure out two cups. Set them aside.
Add the water and frozen pineapple to your blender first. (This Ninja Master Prep Blender is the one I use when making smoothies.) By adding the frozen fruit and water first into the blender, the fruit will chop up easier in the blender.
Add in the sliced strawberries and ground flax seed to the blender.
Blend until all the ingredients are combined.
Serve chilled and enjoy! This is the perfect smoothie to have for breakfast or as a healthy afternoon snack.
Recipe Tips:
Add the frozen fruit and water into the blender first. By doing this, the fruit will chop up easier in the blender.
The smoothie tastes best served right away.
If you have any extra berries and or pineapple, make the smoothie look festive by slicing them down the middle just about halfway and place them on the rim of the glass.
Refrigerate any leftover smoothie for up to two days. Just give it a little stir after it has been in the refrigerator. It might settle a little so this helps to stir up the ingredients.
No flax seed? For another great source of protein, you can add some oats or chia seeds in place of the flax seed.
How much does this serve? I typically make this as a healthy afternoon snack for my family of four and we each get 8 oz. servings. If you have extra, you can just place it in the refrigerator for another day (it should be used within two days).
Will kids like this smoothie? Kids love smoothies! It is such a great way to add nutritional foods to their diet. Both of our kids love smoothies.
Want to make the smoothie into popsicles? Just pour the mix into your popsicle mold and let them sit in the freezer 4-6 hours. This is another way to get nutrients into your kids. And kids love popsicles so this will be a win!
