Can I use fresh pineapple instead of frozen?

Absolutely—and it’s delicious! If you use fresh pineapple, your smoothie will be less frosty and more juice-like, but still vibrant and tasty. For extra chill, toss in a few ice cubes or use chilled ingredients.

Is there a substitute for coconut milk?

Yes, you can swap in any plant-based milk (like almond, cashew, or oat milk) if you’re not a fan of coconut. If you want an extra creamy smoothie, use a dairy or non-dairy yogurt instead.

How do I meal prep this smoothie for the week?

Just blend up a big batch, pour into individual-mason jars, and freeze. Then thaw a jar in the fridge overnight, or let it sit at room temp for an hour or so, shake and enjoy! This makes grabbing a healthy breakfast or snack effortless.

Can I leave out the agave syrup?

Definitely! The smoothie is naturally sweet from fruit, so the agave is totally optional—use it to tailor the drink exactly to your taste preferences.

Blend: Blend on high speed until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is creamy and smooth. Scrape down the sides and blend again if needed for a silky texture.
Sweeten and Adjust: Taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, add the agave syrup to taste and blend again until fully incorporated. Serve immediately and enjoy your golden glow smoothie!

Notes

You can use fresh pineapple instead of frozen to make this more of a juice consistency rather than a thick smoothie.
Batch-making: Prepare in advance and freeze extra portions in mason jars with lids. Thaw for a few hours at room temperature or lightly in the microwave before serving.
