Notes

Nutrition is an estimate and varies by the yogurt, almond milk, pineapple, and protein powder used.

Tips for the Best Texture

• Use frozen pineapple for a thicker, colder smoothie.
• Peel the cucumber if the skin is thick or bitter.
• Add the liquid first to help the blender process the fruit more easily.
• If the smoothie is too thick, add almond milk a tablespoon at a time.

Protein and Nutrition

With Greek yogurt and one scoop of protein powder, this smoothie can provide roughly 35 to 40 grams of protein, depending on the brands you use. Our recipe estimate is about 330 calories and 37 grams of protein per smoothie.

Nutrition values are estimates and can change with different yogurts, milks, pineapple amounts, and protein powders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh pineapple?

Yes. Fresh pineapple works well, but the smoothie will be thinner. Add ice if you want a colder, thicker texture.

Do I need to peel the cucumber?

Not always. Thin-skinned cucumbers can usually be blended with the peel, while thicker or more bitter skins are better removed.

Can I make it without protein powder?

Yes. Increase the Greek yogurt or use a higher-protein milk, but the total protein will be lower.
