Tips
- Use ripe fruit that you freeze yourself for the best flavor. If your bananas are on the brown side, they will add a touch of sweetness to the smoothie.
- Add a little bit of pineapple juice to the blender for extra sweetness and Tang.
- Add some acidity. A little bit of lemon or lime juice will help to brighten up the flavors of the pineapple and banana.
- Use fresh or frozen fruit. If you're using fresh fruit, add more ice to the blender to help create a thick, creamy texture.
