Tips for the Best Carrot Pineapple Smoothie

✔ Use frozen pineapple – Makes the smoothie extra cold & creamy!

✔ Add a pinch of cinnamon – Gives it a warm, cozy depth of flavor.
✔ Want it sweeter? – A date or a drizzle of honey works wonders.
✔ Make it a smoothie bowl – Pour it into a bowl and top with granola, coconut flakes, or chia seeds.


Substitutions and Variations

🔹 Mango Swap – Replace pineapple with mango for a tropical twist.
🔹 Coconut Dream – Use coconut milk & coconut flakes for extra tropical flavor.
🔹 Citrus Boost – Add a squeeze of lemon or lime for extra brightness.
🔹 Protein-Packed – Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for a meal replacement.


Make a Healthier Version

✅ Swap Greek yogurt for plant-based yogurt – Keeps it dairy-free.
✅ Use coconut water instead of juice – Cuts sugar while keeping it hydrating.
✅ Boost fiber with chia or flaxseeds – Adds healthy omega-3s and keeps you fuller longer.


Closing in Todd Wilbur’s Style:
