Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie – An easy and refreshing smoothie you can make in just minutes. A homemade version of the Jamba Juice Aloha Smoothie that is perfect for snacking or breakfast.
Are you a big smoothie drinker? I have to say it is not something that we normally have in our house. Every time I make them, I think we should have them more and then I just forget! But this Copycat Jamba Juice Aloha Smoothie is going to have to make the list, and be something we have more often. All of us devour it every time, so there really is no excuse!
I haven’t lived in a city with a Jamba Juice in years, but I always loved going in to try their different combinations. Last summer when we were visiting my parents we stopped there and I loved all the different add-ins you could get to make your smoothie healthier. If I actually lived near one, I think it could be dangerous.
So I will just stick to making mine at home, it is probably safer that way. This is super simple because you use frozen fruit and then just need to add pineapple juice and yogurt to make it come together.
Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie Ingredients
I like to use frozen fruit so that I don’t have to use ice. But if you don’t have frozen fruit, just add in a cup of ice when you blend it.
- Frozen Strawberries
- Frozen Pineapple
- Frozen Banana
- Pineapple Juice (You can use orange juice, water, or even milk if you need to substitute)
- Vanilla Yogurt (Greek or regular is fine)
How to Make Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie
- It is best to do in a high powered blender if you are using frozen fruit, so it can blend it nice and smooth. Really just add everything to the blend and blend until it is creamy and done.
- If you don’t have frozen fruit, add 1 cup of ice cubes to get it to the right consistency.
- If you need to add more liquid to get it to come together you can, just add a little bit at a time, so it doesn’t get too runny.
Smoothie Add-In’s
- Handful of Spinach
- Scoop of vanilla protein powder
- Ground flax seed
- Half of an avocado
The nice thing about smoothies like this is they come together in 5 minutes. You really just put all the ingredients into a blender and let it go. So it is great to make for an after school snack or mid afternoon pick me up. With all the different add in ideas you can make it even more filling and nutrient dense, without anyone ever knowing!
Tips For Frozen Fruit
Whenever we have fruit that is on its last leg, I clean it up and put add it to a freezer safe bag in the freezer. I peel the bananas and break them in half, then stash them in a bag. So whenever you need frozen fruit for anything, you have some on hand, and don’t always have to buy bags of frozen fruit at the store. Frozen fruit can be expensive, but if you consistently have just a few strawberries that are about to go bad, or raspberries that don’t get eaten, you can save them for smoothies, and always have them available.
You can definitely put whole strawberries in a smoothie. So if you have them leftover or buy them frozen, whole or sliced strawberries work great.

I love the combination of this smoothies! I should drink this instead of eating snacks or desserts huh… it makes more sense – delicious, sweet enough, and healthy!
Emily @ Life on Food says
This looks like a very delicious breakfast. I always put extras like wheat germ or rolled oats for the fiber. Love that it is pink – so pretty!
Sandi says
Tasty recipe! Keep trying with the Greek yogurt – they all taste a little different 😉
Grubarazzi (@Grubarazzi) says
Nom nom nom. I use protein powder in my smoothies but I love the taste of greek yogurt (if my stomach could handle it). This looks delish!
Dee at Deelicious Sweets says
We love smoothies! When we don’t make them at home we often go to Smoothie King and grab one for lunch. Usually during the summer time as we head over to the pool we grab one to help us cool off. That way we don’t have to wait 30 minutes before swimming because we technically didn’t really eat. We slurped and swallowed. 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Chung-Ah | Damn Delicious says
I just got a brand spanking new fancy schmancy blender so I’m on the constant lookout for healthy smoothies. I love everything that’s going in here, especially that vanilla Greek yogurt (I’m definitely one of those people obsessed with Greek yogurt!).
Kristi Rimkus says
I have a Magic Bullet that makes quick work of smoothies and salad dressings. In fact, all kinds of things. I bought because I like the idea of getting those extra fruits and veggies in without a lot of hassle. I often add spinach to my smoothies. Love those green smoothies.
Kiri W. says
I love using Greek yogurt! I’d have to switch out the pineapple, because I just can’t bring myself to like it, but the smoothie looks perfect otherwise 🙂
Jennifer (Delicieux) says
What a gorgeous smoothie! I’d love this for breakfast.
Susan Monk says
I am trying to get off dairy so thought I would try it with coconut or almond milk – hope it works OK – they sound delicious!!!
Erin S says
Either will work great!! Coconut will probably lend a slight coconut flavor, but that will go really well with the fruit. Let me know it turns out!
Jen says
Such a great idea about saving fruit that’s on the edge and freezing it! Love being able to easily grab it in a pinch to make this smoothie.
Vikki says
Loved this refreshing smoothie! Definitely making this again as the weather will only get hotter!
Sara Welch says
Love starting my day off with a smoothie like this one! So easy and refreshing-especially on a hot day!
Jacque Hastert says
What a delicious way to kick start your day or a tasty end to your workout! This would also curb your sweet tooth the healthy way.
