Notes

If you like, you can use a mixture of 1 ½ cups diced pineapple and ½ cup mango instead of 2 cups diced pineapple
Frozen bananas work great in smoothies. I keep frozen bananas in my freezer to use for smoothies. Just be sure to peel them before freezing them- it's really hard to peel frozen bananas!
You can substitute other liquids as the base of the smoothie instead of orange juice. Coconut water and milk are examples.
You can add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed or chia seeds for a boost of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and phytonutrients.
Add a handful of ice to your smoothie if you're using fresh fruit. If using frozen fruit, you can skip the ice.
