Easy watermelon pineapple smoothie

There’s something about watermelon and pineapple that just works so well.

I guess it’s because they are both tropical fruits, drinking them together helps you feel like you are on some tropical island!

And this watermelon pineapple smoothie is no different!

Frozen watermelon smoothies are super easy to make (although you can use fresh watermelon for this pineapple watermelon smoothie), you can have a lot of fun experimenting with them.

So many fruits go well with watermelon.

Some of my favorites are mango and strawberries.

You should definitely check out this mango watermelon smoothie, and also this strawberry watermelon smoothie, which is seriously so fresh!

The great thing with this smoothie is that you can mix things up as you see fit – if you really like pineapple, go ahead and add more. If you love watermelon, add some more of that!

One thing I would not is that, if you go too far down the watermelon end, it can start to lose its flavor because of the high water-content of watermelon.

In that case, be sure to add enough pineapple to keep that flavor there.

Why this watermelon pineapple smoothie is amazing!

As a pineapple watermelon smoothie, it tastes amazing!

If you’ve never had pineapple and watermelon together, you are really missing out!

Watermelon is pretty versatile, given its high water-content, so it goes well with fruits that have a strong flavor.

This is why it works so well with pineapple.

But there is a secret ingredient that takes this watermelon and pineapple smoothie to the next level, and that’s coconut yogurt!

Coconut yogurt is utterly amazing.

It adds such a great island fresh flavor to smoothies, whilst helping to make them thicker like vanilla dairy yogurt.

But the slight coconut flavor does such a great job of complementing the tropical fruit flavors.

As I outline below, just be sure to watch out what exactly you are buying when you get coconut yogurt, as they are not all created equal!

It’s a simple to make frozen watermelon smoothie

A great thing about this watermelon pineapple smoothie is that it is super-simple to make!

Given that it only has 3 ingredients (and water), it’s not difficult to make in any way, and should become a go-to recipe for you!

Pineapple can become messy if you have it fresh, so you can certainly use frozen pineapple if you want with this smoothie.

Why not make it a frozen pineapple smoothie as well as a frozen watermelon smoothie?!

It’s a versatile watermelon pineapple smoothie

A really useful thing with this pineapple weight loss smoothie is that it is really versatile.

If you really like watermelon, you can easily add more watermelon.

One thing to take care on is not adding so much watermelon that you lose any pineapple flavor.

Because it has a high water-content (especially frozen watermelon), you can start to mask out the pineapple flavor after a while.

You can also certainly use plain yogurt with this if you want, although I would really recommend staying with coconut yogurt, as it helps to add to that fresh island flavour!

How to make a pineapple watermelon smoothie

Let’s see just how easy it is to make this pineapple and watermelon smoothie!

Ingredients

You will need the following ingredients:-

• Pineapple – You can use fresh or frozen pineapple for this recipe. If you do get fresh pineapple and find you are left with some, I do recommend freezing it, otherwise the color of it can turn quite quickly.
• Watermelon – Again, you can use fresh or frozen watermelon, but I recommend frozen watermelon for this smoothie, as it helps to create a fresh, tropical island flavor with the coconut yogurt!
• Coconut yogurt – There is something really important to bear in mind with coconut yogurt, and that is that not all coconut yogurts are created equal! Some are pure coconut yogurt (which is great), some are dairy yogurts with coconut flavor, and some are a mix. Also, some are unsweetened, and some have added sugars. So you really need to make sure you get one that falls in line with your dietary requirements. I like So Delicious unsweetened coconut yogurt, as it is made with organic coconut milk, and is unsweetened.
