Kristyn’s Recipe Tips
- We love to add a handful of spinach, a scoop of strawberry or vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, nutritional yeast, collagen, or fiber for added nutrients.
- To choose a ripe pineapple, smell the bottom for sweetness and feel for a slight give when pressed. Additionally, a leaf from the top should pull out easily.

Can I used canned pineapple and the juice in the can?
This is one of my favorite smoothies. I’m not a fan of pineapple…except on pizza and in this smoothie!
Love this! It has been my breakfast this week!
Can I use fresh strawberries & frozen pineapple?
Absolutely!! You can adjust the amount of ice in the smoothie if you need since you’ll be using frozen pineapple. Hope you enjoy the smoothie!
