Valentine’s Strawberry, Banana and Pineapple Smoothie
This is not another green smoothie. This Strawberry Banana & Pineapple Smoothie is totally loaded with good stuff to help improve health and provide a detox. And extremely yummy! Plus the pink color is perfect for the upcoming Valentine’s Day.
I know! It’s February and strawberries are definitely an off-season special treat. But really, strawberries are such a fruity delight when it’s cold outside (and even when it’s warm), aren’t they?
Most strawberry smoothies are paired with bananas, and that’s truly a great combo. But for this smoothie recipe, I added one of my tried and true ingredients that’s not only delicious but helps clean out the body:
PINEAPPLE!
But the pineapple has to be FRESH and not from a can. With the addition of strawberries and banana, this smoothie just screams flavor! And yet, you still feel full and satisfied!
I know that this smoothie will soon become one of your favorites too!
I hope that you enjoy this special Valentine’s Strawberry, Banana & Pineapple Smoothie !
TIPS on Selecting and Cooking with a Pineapple
- A pineapple’s ripeness is revealed by the external shell and are ready to eat even if the shell is slightly green.
- Pineapples don’t continue to ripen after being picked, so use them upon purchase.
- When cutting, first cut off the crown and base. Then cut off the side and remove the little ‘eyes’.
- Cut in half lengthwise. Then cut each half again in half to make 4 large sections. Slice down the pointed tips of each section to remove core. Slice in half lengthwise again and then cut into chunks.
- If the pineapple isn’t served immediately, just cut it up and place in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Use within one week.

Way to go Roz!! I always think that any amount of “loss” is good, and slowly but surely will win the race! I think if you were to never splurge, that would be way worse in the end and turn into a binge, so you are being smart and making good choices! anne
This looks awesome! Congratulations on your weight loss, too!
Good for you Roz!!!!!
Congratulation on a weight loss, every pound counts. I am on that road too. Great smoothie!
Hi Roz! Hope all is well! I’ve been on a pineapple binge myself. I’ll have to keep a look out for the ch-ch-ch-chia seeds. :o) Thank you for your encouraging comment! My new camera is a Kodak Z990 Easyshare. I couldn’t afford the Canon that I wanted!
Roz, this sounds delicious! Great job on your weight loss too! I’m also trying to watch. I’d love for you to share this at my new party called Mix it up Monday:

I hope to see you soon 🙂
Oh how perfect for V-day. I love the colors and flavor
Congrats on the ten-pound mark. I find WW keeps me accountable. I lost 25 pounds last year (gained 8 back in Italy) and trying to rid myself of the last 15. It’s – a journey. That smoothie? One of my favorites.
So lovely – I make strawberry banana smoothies all the time, but never thought to add pineapple. Will give it a try!

PS – fantastic photos
PS – congrats on hitting that first milestone. I don’t know how much you’d like to lose, but I’ve been doing the same for the past 8 month – nice and slow like you. Here’s to the new us!
I love the idea of using coconut water in a smoothie. Will look for that in stores. Gorgeous!
That smoothie looks delicious. I have to try it soon. The slow & steady wins the race. Keep the diet going.
This looks delicious! And congrats on your weight loss so far! I’m so glad that you are doing this in a healthy manner. 🙂
Mmmmmmm….a pink smoothie may not be quite as healthy as a green one, but I’m loving it (and it is healthier than what I would have made)! Congrats on your weight loss, Roz…I know you can do it!
Dear Roz, This smoothie sounds delightful and delicious!! A perfect treat for Valentine’s. Blessings, your friend, Catherine xo
This is my kind of smoothie, pink and pretty and creamy.
