Chef’s Note
I like to freeze fresh pineapple for this, and other smoothie recipes. To start, use a large knife to peel the pineapple by cutting the hard, spiny outer layer off the top, bottom, and sides. Then, slice the fresh pineapple into bite-sized pieces. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, and add the chunks in a single layer. Freeze for 1-2 hours until the pineapple pieces are hard. Transfer them to a freezer bag to keep frozen (up to 6 months), until you’re ready to use.

Can this be made ahead of time?
Yes, smoothies are actually an excellent meal prepping option. You can blend the ingredients in advance, then divide the mixture into serving-sized plastic bags or another freezer-safe container. When ready to serve, let thaw in fridge. If you’re planning on meal prepping, you may want to double up the recipe so that you can enjoy it on a few occasions.
How to Store
- Store: Because of the dairy in the recipe, don’t leave your smoothie at room temperature for more than 2 hours. If you have any leftover, you can cover it to store in the fridge for 3-4 days. The mixture will melt and become less thick, so stir to combine any separated ingredients before serving.
- Freeze: You can store it in a freezer-safe, airtight container for up to 6 months. Let it thaw in the fridge so that it’s soft enough to drink before serving.
Tips and Tricks
Use frozen fruit
- I always recommend using frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit to create a thick, frothy consistency for your homemade smoothies. The ice crystals from the frozen pineapple thicken the mixture and keep it chilled. If you don’t have frozen fruit, you can add ice cubes to the mixture, but as the ice melts, it will thin out and water down the smoothie.
Adjust ingredients as needed
- Making your own smoothie leaves a lot of room for experimentation. You can adjust the ingredient amounts based on how thick you like it, adding more juice for a thinner consistency, or mixing in extra Greek yogurt to make it thick and creamy. You can also adjust the sweetness and fruit flavors based on measurements.
