Pineapple and mint taste like a holiday in a glass. The pineapple brings sweetness and a juicy tang, mint a cool freshness, and half a banana softens the acidity.

Pineapple Mint Smoothie with Chia Seeds
Tangy and sweet pineapple with cool mint, light and slightly thick.
Ripe pineapple is sweet and tangy at the same time and contains vitamin C. Fresh mint is a classic partner, familiar from summer drinks, and makes the smoothie taste even more refreshing. Half a banana adds creaminess without covering the pineapple.
Chia seeds add a little fibre and body. The smoothie is light, needs no added sugar and suits a hot day, a fruity breakfast or a cool drink after sport.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Yes, drained pineapple in juice works, but it tastes sweeter and less fresh.
It keeps up to a day in the fridge. Stir before drinking, as the chia thickens it.
