Pineapple Smoothie Bowl
Refresh and reenergize with this recipe for a Pineapple Smoothie Bowl! It’s perfect for breakfast, after a workout, or anytime you want to recharge.
Despite my best intentions, I fell off the wagon. What used to be simple routine – heading to the gym every day – got sideswiped by a demanding puppy, a terrible cough that kept me up at night for weeks (and with a voice that sounded like a tortured James Earl Jones), and travel to my slushy hometown for work, which made me rely more on Ricola than I would care to admit.
I’m finally feeling more myself, and finally getting back on the fitness wagon, which means, I’m craving my smoothie bowls again. Whether it’s an acai bowl or my beloved green smoothie bowl, the blender has been going non-stop.
My husband came home with a beautiful pineapple the other day, and as I sliced through it, I knew I had to transform the shell into a vessel for something refreshing. So of course, I had to make a Pineapple Smoothie Bowl! I always keep frozen pineapples stocked for my smoothies and smoothie bowls, and combining it with sweet, freshly sliced pineapples, bananas and shredded coconut kept me energized to conquer the day.
It feels good to be back, and back on track.
Now as for serving it in the pineapple – well, of course, it would be just as wonderful served in a bowl. But it’s my little way of treating myself to a mini getaway…kinda like a pina colada, but without the umbrella…and without the rum. It’s the little fun in the sun I crave on a Wednesday in February.

COOKBOOK
Hello, i wanna try this recipe out for my Ramadan and is it ok to put Protein-Powder into it ?!
Absolutely! Feel free to add a scoop of your favorite protein powder!
can you keep this in the fridge for overnight?
Hi Amie, for overnight storage, I would recommend keeping the bowl in the freezer, separate from the toppings. It would become far too liquidy if you leave it in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat your smoothie bowl, let it thaw at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, add your toppings, and enjoy. Hope that helps!
Blending on low is a game changer! My bowls are way creamier now
Such a small detail, but it really does make a difference! Thank you, Danielle!
I love it! Best smoothie made ever! Not to bitter, not too sweet. Thank you for sharing.
That’s so awesome to hear! Thanks, Stacey!

Love the idea, but this ends up as almost 500 calories just without the toppings! Any ideas for making it less caloric?
Hi Erica, when I calculate the smoothie bowl without the toppings, it’s not quite 500 calories, but I understand your concern! To make it less caloric, I would make sure to use unsweetened almond milk, lessen the honey, and leave out the shredded coconut. Or, split the bowl with a friend :)
I hope this helps!
What a fun presentation – super special and yummy!
Isn’t it so fun? Makes it feel like a vacation :)
We’ve been eating a lot of pineapple (and other wonderful fresh fruit) here in Mexico. Would devour this bowl! Beautifully done!
Oh, I’ve been living vicariously through you, Brian. Enjoy all the tropical fruits for me!
The presentation of this smoothie bowl … all I can say is WOW! Fantastic, Liren! Pinning and making for the Mr. and I this weekend.
Thank you, Lauren!! I hope you both like it! :)
