This green smoothie is delicious, nutritious, energy boosting and good till the last drop. I love how naturally vibrant and pretty it is. The addition of avocado makes it creamy and velvety smooth and it’s balanced in sweetness with pineapple and honey. You’ll be happy to know, it has just 4 ingredients (not counting water)!
My son all of a sudden loves avocados. Finally! The only way he ate them before was in guacamole, but now he loves them straight out of the peel with just a sprinkle of salt. He’s smitten :).
We’ve been experimenting with smoothies this week and trying to develop recipes that he loves just as much as my husband and I do. With his new love for avocado, we decided to add it to the smoothie mix. His selective taste buds approved this Pineapple avocado smoothie. Happy blending!

1 C water
1/2 medium ripe avocado, peeled & pitted

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
This is so good! Instead of water & honey, I did a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and it took it to the next level — without too much extra sugar. Creamy, sweet, delicious!
I felt like the end result was missing something so I added half of a yellow apple and it tasted so much better! Great recipe.
Thanks for sharing, Maria!
Very tasty! Gives me a nice surge of energy and I feel like I’m drinking a green smoothie in a fancy resort in Mexico 😉
PS, toddler approved
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Maria!
Hi Maria. My first try at this recipe and my first sip also brought me to Mexico resort. 😃😃 I totally agree.
Thank you for sharing that with us, Lisa! 🙂
This recipe says 51 grams of sugar. Is that correct? Wow.
Hi Toni, I used 1 to 2 Tbsp honey or agave for this recipe. You can reduce the honey, it will still be good.
Would canned instead of frozen pineapple work as well? I’ve never seen frozen pineapple.
Thanks for your great recipes.
Hi B, I haven’t tried this with canned, but I imagine it would work. Canned pineapple, if in an all-natural juice will work for consistency, we buy the frozen pineapple.
Really enjoy her cooking show
Thank you for that wonderful compliment!
Hi Natasha, do you think adding protein powder will change the flavor or consistency?
Hi Wendy, I haven’t honestly tried that yet to advise. If you do an experiment, please let us know how you liked it.
Can one substitute leafy spinach with powder spinach…??
Hi Clyde, that should work but I haven’t tested it to tell you specifically how much to substitute.
I dislike the texture of avocado but this smoothie is AMAZING! 🤤
Hi Jay, it should blend in and make this smoothie nice and creamy. I’m glad you enjoyed this smoothie!
Hi, Can I sub the pineapple, spinach, and avocado for something else. Can I also use Martian milk instead of water. Jeez people -_-. Great recipe btw, 5 stars.
I’m happy you enjoeyd that! I haven’t tested that but I think it could work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
Can I use almond milk or Full cream milk instead of water? Thanks!
Sure, I imagine that should work!
Hi! Could I use vegetable milk instead of water?
Hi Angela, do you mean like almond milk or coconut milk? Either of those should work fine.
Great, i just picked spinach, avocado, pineapple and banana out of the freezer to blend my dinner and then came to google it up here and wow, what a coincidence
Yeah perfect timing! I hope you enjoyed your smoothie.
How do I reduce the sugar in this recipe?
Hi Shelia, honey is a great solution to replace sugar. You reduce the amount of honey you use also. I hope that helps.
Can’t wait to try. Can i skip the honey/agave? Trying to cut out unnecessary sugar.
That should work. We usually add honey when my son is having the smoothies because he likes them on the sweeter side and he’s more likely to drink them. Plus Honey has some great benefits and I never feel guilty about using it and recipes.
We made these this morning without any sugar or honey and everybody loved them! Thank you!
That’s so great! I’m so happy you enjoyed that!
