- Almond milk: in order to reduce sugar, we decided to use half almond milk, which also gave this pineapple smoothie recipe a super creamy consistency.

You can use fresh pineapple in this recipe, but if you do, we recommend adding in a few cups of ice for your base.

We actually used the juice from a can of 100% pineapple chunks. Look in the canned fruit section of any grocery store.
