About this smoothie
Banana and pineapple form a sweet, tropical base that many smoothies are built on. Adding blueberries brings colour, a gentle tartness and fibre, and they combine surprisingly well with pineapple.
Bananas provide creaminess, pineapple juiciness and vitamin C. With water as the only liquid the smoothie remains fruity and light. It is a good choice for children and anyone who prefers sweet smoothies, and it works just as well with frozen fruit in winter.
Bartender tips
Frozen blueberries turn the smoothie colder and an even deeper purple.
Very ripe bananas make any sweetener unnecessary.
Variations
Creamy version
Replace the water with milk or oat drink for a milkshake style smoothie.
