Expert Tips

Variations for Pineapple Avocado Smoothie

- Add strawberry preserves for a sweeter smoothie without any fake flavoring syrups.
- Mix up the fruits - try adding frozen blackberries or frozen chunks of mango.
- Add grains such as quick oats, ground flax, or wheat bran — they’re a great source of fiber, protein, and varying vitamins and minerals.
Recipe FAQ's

Yes! In fact, having frozen fruit on hand makes it so easy to whip up a smoothie anytime. You can use fresh fruit, but frozen fruit gives your smoothie that nice icy thick texture. You can also eliminate any ice most of the time when you use frozen fruit instead.
