Recipe Ingredients
Pineapple: I used fresh pineapple for this recipe. Frozen pineapple will work just as well and will make the smoothie thicker too.
Strawberries: Fresh or frozen strawberries will be wonderful in this pineapple strawberry smoothie. You can also use strawberry syrup from my Korean strawberry milk recipe!
Banana: For creamy texture and sweetness. Choose a ripe banana. The riper the banana, the sweeter it is!
Cashew Milk: I love the creaminess of cashew milk in this recipe. You can use store-bought or homemade cashew milk or any other milk or yogurt.
Ginger: It adds just the right amount of sharpness to the strawberry smoothie! Feel free to leave it out if you wish.
Chia seeds: They pack a nutritional punch and make the smoothie heartier!
