Ingredients and substitutions
- Frozen strawberries – use fresh strawberries if they’re in season, just add a few ice cubes to thicken the smoothie.
- Frozen pineapple – fresh pineapple works too; freezing it first gives the smoothie that frosty texture.
- Greek yogurt – coconut or strawberry flavoured yogurt adds creaminess and protein, but you can use plain Greek yogurt and sweeten with honey if you prefer. Dairy-free yogurt works as well.
- Soy milk – any milk will do here, like almond, oat, or regular dairy milk depending on your preference.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my smoothie taste watery?
Skip ice and just use frozen fruit, add liquid gradually, and blend just to smooth for the best flavour and texture.
Can I use canned pineapple instead of frozen?
Yes but be aware that you will be adding extra unnecessary sugar to your smoothie. Make sure to drain it well so your smoothie doesn’t end up too sweet or liquidy. For the best smoothie texture, freeze the pineapple chunks before blending.
Can I make this smoothie without yogurt?
Yes. Skip it or use a dairy-free alternative. Adding chia seeds or silken tofu can help replace the creaminess.
How to store and make-ahead
Make ahead: Portion the fruit and yogurt into freezer bags or containers so you can just add liquid and blend when ready.
Store: Keep the blended smoothie in a sealed jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
