Key Ingredients

Ingredients to make pineapple cucumber smoothie on a white surface.

Pineapple is a tropical fruit with lots of sweetness and nutrition. It’s high in vitamin C and is a healthy food with amazing health benefits including helping with inflammation, the immune system, and digestion.

Cucumbers add fiber and hydration. You can use regular cucumbers, Persian cucumbers, or an English cucumber in this sweet pineapple cucumber smoothie.

Coconut water is perfect for hydration and keeps this tropical smoothie dairy-free.

Mint leaves and lime juice bring everything together and add a refreshing flavor.

Recipe Tips & Substitutions

  • You can easily double this recipe to make more servings.
  • To make this a creamy smoothie, use almond milk or light canned coconut milk instead of the coconut water. Coconut milk will add a nice boost of healthy fats.
  • If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, you can add up to 1-2 teaspoons of honey.
  • Some people find that cucumbers are easier to digest if you peel them. Persian cucumbers are the exception as they are considered a “burpless” cucumber. But, you may wish to peel English cucumbers if they tend to bother your stomach.
  • Feel free to get creative with this recipe. You can use ingredients like baby spinach, fresh ginger root, chia seeds, protein powder, Greek yogurt, or oat milk as options.
