Notes

  • Make ahead of time – You can bag up the ingredients for this smoothie ahead of time in a Ziploc bag and stick it in the freezer until you’re ready to make it. The fruit will stay nice and fresh in the freezer for up to two months.
  • Freeze oranges – You can also freeze oranges. Peel the oranges, then section them off and freeze them on a cookie sheet, then store them in a freezer-safe bag.
  • Freeze pineapples – I love using fresh or frozen pineapple for this recipe. If you have fresh pineapple, you can do the same method as the bananas and oranges. Slice it into chunks, then freeze on a cookie sheet until they’re solid, then store in a freezer-safe bag.
  • Replace juice – For a creamier smoothie, you can use milk to replace orange juice or coconut water. Any milk will work even coconut milk or almond milk.
