These refreshing drinks are especially popular in Hawaii, home of Dole/Tropical Fruits Distributors of Hawaii — the nation’s premier grower of Tropical Gold Pineapples®.

3 Pineapple Smoothie Recipes to Keep You Cool

1. Pineapple Pit-Stop Smoothie

If you’re a fan of “superfood,” you’ll appreciate how healthy and delicious this smoothie is. Combine two cups of Dole pineapple, one cup of baby spinach, one banana, one cup of almond milk, one cup of ice, and a quarter tablespoon of cinnamon in a blender for five minutes — or until smooth. This recipe is enough to feed two people and provides necessary nutrients to get you through the day.

2. Dole Pineapple Running Juice

Physical activity is key to lasting health, and you’ll make the most of your exercise time by staying hydrated. One of the best ways to do this is with a nutritious running juice. To make two servings, run two cups of fresh pineapple through a juicer followed by a cup of broccoli florets, a cucumber, an inch of fresh ginger, and a fourth teaspoon of turmeric. If you don’t have a juicer, a blender or food processor may be substituted, in which case you’ll need to add one cup of water to the recipe.

3. The Tropics

If you love Hawaii’s fresh, tropical fruit, you’ll enjoy the delicate blend of flavors in this easy-to-prepare smoothie. Just combine a cup of diced Dole pineapple with one banana in a blender until smooth. Then add a cup of fresh coconut water, a teaspoon of almond butter, and a teaspoon of chia seeds, and blend one last time.

Because of its unique volcanic soil, Hawaii can grow incredibly sweet, low-acid pineapple.
