    Plant-Based Pineapple Smoothie that’s Lower Carb and Banana Free

    7
    By Alisa Fleming on May 30, 2016 Beverages, Breakfast, Dairy-Free Recipes

    I frequently receive requests for banana-free smoothies and recipes that are low sugar and low carbohydrate. Simple as it may be, this tasty, nourishing pineapple smoothie fits the healthy bill. Whether your cooling off on a hot day, waking up your digestive system, or recharging from outdoor activities, you can count on this easy blend of pineapple and almonds. It’s enriched with tummy-friendly dairy-free yogurt, whole almonds, and almond milk.

    Nuts for Pineapple Smoothie Recipe - fresh pineapple and a double or triple dose of almonds for creamy dairy-free, vegan nutrition.This pineapple smoothie recipe with photo was shared with us by Atkins.com.

    This Pineapple Almond Smoothie is Naturally Higher in Healthy Fats

    And a little secret that you may not know – dairy-free milks and yogurts are often lower sugar and lower carbohydrate than dairy-based ones! Dairy milk naturally contains a high amount of milk sugar (lactose), but unsweetened almond milk and unsweetened dairy-free yogurt are both sugar-free. Plain yogurt (which has just a little more sugar) is used here for a little extra sweetness. If you opt for unsweetened dairy-free yogurt in this pineapple smoothie recipe, you may want to add a few drops of pure stevia if your pineapple isn’t super sweet.

    Fresh fruit is used in this pineapple smoothie recipe, but for a frostier, creamier treat, use frozen pineapple. It’s fairly inexpensive and available year round at stores like Trader Joe’s, or you can flash-freeze your own chunks when pineapple is at its peak.

      I love the idea of a pineapple smoothie – and with frozen pineapple, I’ll bet it’s incredible during these hot late spring/summer days.
