There is nothing better than a good and creamy Pineapple Berry Smoothie! It is filling and packed with vitamins and nutrients that provide so many health benefits. From improving digestion to lowering cholesterol & blood pressure, boosting your immune system and preventing early ageing, tooth decaying & cancer, this smoothie does it all! And do you agree that the taste and smell of fresh pineapple, strawberries and raspberries are just fantastic?
We came back from our Mexico vacation two weeks ago but I already miss having their juicy, sweet and aromatic pineapples every day. Yes, I know, the best pineapples are grown in Hawaii and Costa Rica (still on my travel wish list) but still! Oh and something interesting you might not know about pineapples… did you know that you can cut off the top of the pineapple (the leafy part), let it dry for several days , put it in a glass of water and once you start seeing nice and long roots (after a few weeks) you can plant it in a pot? How awesome is that?!
And did I mention how jealous I am that in so many places the strawberry season has already started… it just feels like it’s started everywhere but Canada! I can’t wait for the berry season to begin around here so I can pick my own strawberries (and later on raspberries) as I always do every year. If you’re one of the lucky ones who can get fresh strawberries check out some of my favourite recipes for Strawberry Smoothie, Strawberry Ice Cream, Strawberry Jam and, la pièce de résistance, Vanilla Mousse Cake with Strawberry Jelly.
Time: 5 min, Prep: 5 min.
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
- 1 pineapple, cut into chunks & half of them frozen
- 1 cup (150 g) frozen strawberries,
- 1 cup (150 g) frozen raspberries
- 3 scoops frozen vanilla yogurt
I prefer freezing the fruits rather than adding ice cubes, the smoothies are better and more filling this way!
Directions:
Blend strawberries, raspberries and one scoop frozen yogurt until smooth, pulsing as needed. You might need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times. Pour into glasses.
Blend the pineapple chunks and the remaining frozen yogurt.
Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

This may be a dumb question, but can I buy individual yogurts in the dairy isle and freeze them or do I need to buy the frozen yogurt that is located near the ice cream? Is there a difference?
My two favorite fruits are raspberries and pineapple. This is the perfect smoothie for me!
This smoothie looks AMAZING! It’s almost too pretty to drink… almost. 🙂
Thank you, Lecy :)!
I have changed my eating habitsdrastically since Jan, 2014. I neer felt better. I am a tad bit late getting on the smoothie band wagon because all I ever find arerecipes that requie using YOGURT. I take probioticsin different form, knowing it is good for you. However this looks so delicious and would love to make it. Do you by any chance or anyone know of a substitute for yogurt..I just cannot stand the taste. Makes me cringe.
Smoothies are great for you as they are packed with vitamins and nutrients! You can try substituting the yogurt with ice cream if you like it… or even some milk would work but the consistency will change a bit.
Absolutely beautiful presentation and looks delicious. It’s perfect for company or my next party. Thanks for sharing and I am now following you on Twitter.
Thanks Judee! Just followed you back as well :).
That looks amazing! I can’t wait to make one. I love the pineapple garnish, too cute! Thanks for linking up to Snickerdoodle Sunday.
Thank you Kristina & Millie!
This looks so good! It would be like pineapple then BOOM berry. I’m stopping by from the loving link up. I’m a new follower through Twitter. I hope your having a great Wednesday!
Thanks for stopping by Leslie and for the Twitter follow ! I just followed you back as well 🙂 !
Can you use canned pineapple instead of fresh. I realize fresh would be sooooo much better but I was just wondering if nutritionally it would make a difference.
Hi Becky, You can definitely use canned pineapple. There is usually a higher content of sugar in the canned pineapple compared to the fresh one but on the other hand, the canned fruit is usually higher in carbs because it’s packed in fruit juice :).
I am questioning the freezing of only one half of the pineapple. Do you use the other half that is not frozen in the smoothie?
Yes, I use the other half that is not frozen as well… except a few slices that I use to decorate. You can freeze everything if you want, it’s just a matter of personal preference when it comes to the final texture of the smoothie.
Beautiful! And it looks delicious, too. My whole family would love this! Thanks for linking up at Wordy Wednesday. Pinned!

These remind me of the frozen drinks I drink while on cruises! Anything that reminds me of being on a cruise is a good thing! LOL!
Sigh! Last time we went on a cruise was 4 years ago during our honeymoon in Europe. Wonderful times, can’t wait to go back 🙂 !
I love smoothies but I don’t use my blender often. This makes me want to take it out of the box again. It’s a beautiful blend and looks refreshing.
