Pineapple Peach Smoothie Benefits
When I originally developed this smoothie recipe, I wanted to make it healthy.
So naturally, because I used a variety of healthy ingredients to make this peach smoothie with pineapple. it contains many benefits.
Here are some of the main benefits of drinking this smoothie:
- Rich in Vitamins and Minerals: The smoothie contains essential nutrients like Vitamin C, Vitamin A, potassium, and calcium, which can contribute to overall health.
- Provides a Protein Boost: I used Greek yogurt in the smoothie. Yogurt is a good source of protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth, as well as general bodily functions.
- Aids Digestion Thanks To The Fiber Content: The fruits and chia seeds used offer a decent amount of fiber, beneficial for digestive health and promoting a feeling of fullness.
- Contains Antioxidant Properties: Pineapple, peach, and banana offer antioxidants, which can help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
- Offers a Delicious Hydration: The water content from the fruits and almond milk contribute to hydration, particularly useful after physical activity or to start the day.
Should I Use Canned, Frozen Or Fresh Fruit To Make This Smoothie?
There are many different types of pineapples and peaches; some are canned, fresh, others are frozen and of course, there is pineapple or peach juice.
So, which one should you use to make this peach pineapple banana smoothie?
There is no right answer, because it all depends on your goals.
Personally, because I wanted to make this smoothie healthier, I used frozen pineapple and fresh peach.
The problem with using canned fruit or juices, is the fact that they often contain added sugars.
Fruit juice also contains a lot less nutrients than the whole fruit.
So, if you want to make the same exact recipe as I am showing you today, then use the type of fruit I used.
How To Make Peach Pineapple Smoothie
As with most smoothie recipes, the method of making them is pretty simple and straightforward.
First thing’s first though, here are the ingredients you are going to need:
- 1 cup/150g frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 peach washed and pitted
- 1/2 cup/125g Greek
- 1/2 ripe banana diced
- 2/3 cup/150ml unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp of chia seeds
Add your ingredients to a blender or a nutribullet. I always like to start with the frozen fruit and liquid first.
Follow with the rest of the ingredients.
Blend until smooth, for about 3-4 minutes. Serve this peach smoothie with yogurt and enjoy!
Optional Recipe Changes
I already discussed the use of different fruit type, such as canned or juice, and I did test these versions.
So, below you will find some recipe changes you can make to this pineapple peach smoothie with yogurt:
- Instead of frozen pineapple, use the same quantity of canned pineapple instead.
- You can use pineapple or peach juice instead of almond milk, for a sweeter smoothie!
- Instead of chia seeds, you can use nut butter, when I made a different variation of this smoothie, I used almond butter.
- For a vegan smoothie, instead of dairy yogurt, use vegan yogurt, or place it altogether for tofu. The quantity is the same; 1/2 cup.
Storing The Smoothie For Later
If you make a big batch, or want to drink the smoothie later, it’s important that you refrigerate the smoothie immediately after making it.
I put the smoothie tightly sealed in a shake bottle, and put it in the fridge. My smoothie lasted for about 2 days.
Do note that the flavor might be impacted, especially since there is frozen fruit used.
