Instructions
I recommend using a food processor or high-speed blender with a minimum 10-cup capacity for this recipe. This gives the ingredients lots of room to puree and get whipped up, making the airy, "fluffy" dessert pictured.
Put the frozen pineapple, frozen peaches, milk, and zest in the food processor and blend until smooth. The volume expands to fill the food processor. You may need to stop your food processor to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula if ingredients are sticking.
Divide the smoothie into two large glasses and serve with spoons or wide-width straws. These should be eaten immediately because they lose volume if they melt.
If you do have leftovers, you can freeze them in popsicle molds. Enjoy!
This is a level 1 recipe (may help support fat loss). I don’t usually think smoothies are the best snack option if you have a fat loss goal. However, this particular “smoothie” is whipped up to be extremely light and airy. You’re increasing your fruit intake while getting a high-volume, low-calorie snack that you can eat with a spoon. This low calorie peach smoothie/low calorie pineapple smoothie combo is truly a win!But what if you have higher energy needs? To make a high calorie peach pineapple smoothie, consider adding some high calorie smoothie toppings. Here are some ideas:
Chia seeds
Flax seeds
Hemp seeds
Granola
Toasted coconut flakes
Whipped cream
Whipped coconut cream
Do peach and pineapple go together?
Yes! Peaches and pineapples are a delicious power team for smoothie recipes, fruit salsa, nice cream, and so much more. There’s only one way to confirm this for sure, though, and that’s to try this recipe yourself!Nutrition information is for one serving of the recipe.
