Whenever the weather warms up, toddler smoothies go into regular rotation in our house—and this pineapple one is a brand new favorite. It reminds me of Dole Whip (without the wait in line!) and is so refreshing and creamy. It has just a few ingredients, too, so it’s easy to mix up for a breakfast component or a snack.

I love this combination for the flavor, but also because it contains fiber, protein, and probiotics. Which means that it’s a nutritious option to have in the mix to help the kids stay fueled and regular.

Ingredients

Below is a look at the ingredients you need to have on hand to make this delicious pineapple smoothie.

  • Pineapple: I use frozen diced pineapple in this recipe because it’s easy and convenient to keep it on hand.
  • Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt): You can use plain, whole milk yogurt—either regular style or Greek—in this smoothie. I usually use Greek-style as it has more protein and can be a bit more filling.
  • Mango: Frozen diced mango adds sweetness and creaminess to this smoothie. You can do all pineapple, but I like how the mango helps balance the flavor of the pineapple without overpowering it.
  • Cauliflower florets: You can use fresh or frozen fresh cauliflower to add a vegetable to this recipe. It blends right in, has no noticeable flavor, and adds to the creaminess of the smoothie.
  • Hemp seeds: You can add hemp seeds, optionally, for additional fats, fiber, and protein.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Below is an overview of how to make the pineapple smoothie, so please scroll down to the end for the full amounts and timing.

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender.
  2. Blend until very smooth. If your blender came with a stick, move the mixture around as needed.
  3. Serve. Or store in an airtight container or a reusable Squeasy Gear pouch, with the lid snapped, for up to 24 hours in the fridge.

How to Store

Store any leftover pineapple smoothie or make ahead and keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Freeze smaller amounts in an ice cube tray and defrost 2-3 at a time for a toddler serving.

Best Tips for Success

  • Use full-fat yogurt since little ones need plenty of healthy fat foods for brain development.
  • Use fresh pineapple and add a few ice cubes to the blender to have the classic smoothie texture. (You can also leave it out for a drinkable yogurt-like consistency.)
  • Try ½ cup orange juice in place of ½ cup of the yogurt for a sweeter flavor.
  • Add a handful of baby spinach for a green mango smoothie.
  • Dairy-free: Use nondairy yogurt.
  • Try Pineapple Popsicles or Pineapple Puree if you have more pineapple to use.
