Banana–Pineapple–Avocado Smoothie

Banana–Pineapple–Avocado Smoothie

Looking for the “perfect” smoothie—bright, creamy, not too sweet, and actually filling? This smoothie balances fruit fibre with Greek-yoghurt protein and avocado/nut-butter fats for steady energy. The potassium in banana is linked with lower blood pressure, and high-protein Greek-yoghurt snacks have been shown to reduce hunger and delay the next meal.

 Optional add-ins pull their weight, too. Collagen peptides can help improve skin hydration and elasticity, while avocado and nuts (almonds) contribute heart-friendly unsaturated fats that can improve LDL-related markers. 

Love that blue hue? That’s phycocyanin—an antioxidant pigment with early human evidence behind it.

Hit blend, sip the glow, and start the day already winning.

  • What you need:

    • 75 g pineapple (fresh or frozen)
    • 1 medium banana (about 100–120 g)
    • ½ medium avocado (about 50 g)
    • 1 Tbsp almond or peanut butter (about 16 g)
    • ½ tsp vanilla extract (2.5 ml)
    • 2–3 dates, pitted (about 40–60 g), to taste
    • Collagen powder – 1 scoop (10 g; check your brand)
    • Blue spirulina powder – ¼ tsp (0.5 g)
    • Greek yoghurt – ½ cup (about 120 g)
    • Cold filtered water – 120–180 ml (½ to ¾ cup), adjust to your preferred thickness
  • How to do it:

    1. Load the jug: Add the water, yoghurt, nut butter, vanilla, collagen and dates.
    2. Add fruit: Tip in the pineapple, banana and avocado.
    3. Blend: Blitz on high until completely smooth (30–45 s).
    4. Colour & adjust: Sprinkle in the blue spirulina and pulse to combine. If you’d like it thinner, add more water. If you want it thicker, add a few extra pineapple chunks or ice.
    5. Serve: Pour into a chilled glass and drink right away.

    Tip: For a colder, creamier texture, freeze the bananaslices first.
