Tips & Substitutions

Make sure your pineapple juice is well-chilled for the best refreshing taste. If you want to add some fiber, consider throwing in a handful of spinach or kale, which blend well and complement the flavor.

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To reheat, you can briefly blend it again with a few ice cubes to restore its frothy consistency. Avoid freezing, as it may change the texture.
