Pro Tips
• For a thinner, more sippable consistency, replace the powdered skim milk with 1/2 cup or 120ml of liquid skim milk or your favorite plant-based milk.
• For an extra-frosty smoothie, use frozen pineapple chunks instead of chilled crushed pineapple. You may need to add a small splash of liquid to help it blend.
• No pineapple on hand? Swap it out for 1 cup of frozen mixed berries, mango, or banana for a completely different, yet equally delicious, flavor profile.
• Boost the nutritional value by adding a large handful of fresh spinach or kale. The sweet pineapple and vanilla flavors will mask the taste of the greens perfectly!
