What ingredients do you need?

This recipe uses ripe avocado for a creamy texture, pineapple for sweetness and water to make the mixture pourable. Choose an avocado that gives slightly when gently pressed, and use fresh or unsweetened frozen pineapple.

100 g avocado flesh (about 2/3 cup diced)
165 g pineapple (about 1 cup diced)
240 ml cold water (1 cup)

Measure the fruit after removing the avocado skin and pit and the pineapple skin and tough core. The cup amounts are approximate; weighing the fruit gives the most consistent result and matches the nutrition estimate below.

How do you make an avocado pineapple smoothie?

You need a blender and two glasses. No steeping or cooking is required.

Wash the outside of the avocado and pineapple under running water before cutting them.
Prepare the fruit: remove the avocado skin and pit, trim the pineapple, and dice enough of each to match the ingredient amounts.
Add the avocado, pineapple and cold water to the blender.
Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed. If the mixture is too thick, add water 15 ml (1 tablespoon) at a time and blend again.
Divide evenly between two glasses and serve.

For a colder, thicker drink, use frozen pineapple rather than adding ice. If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the pieces soften slightly or add a little more water.

Drink the smoothie soon after blending for the best texture. If making it ahead, refrigerate it in a covered container and drink it within 24 hours for best flavor; stir or shake before serving. Do not leave it at room temperature for more than 2 hours, and discard it if it becomes slimy or smells sour.

Does an avocado pineapple smoothie support detox?

The water in an avocado pineapple smoothie contributes to hydration, while the blended fruit supplies fiber and other nutrients. Unlike a strained infusion, this smoothie retains the edible fruit, so its nutrients and calories come from the ingredients you consume.

It does not remove toxins or replace the body’s detoxification processes. The liver and kidneys do most of that work, and the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste. There is no evidence that this particular smoothie has a special detoxifying effect.

If you have a fruit allergy, avoid ingredients that trigger it. If you have kidney disease and have been advised to limit potassium, ask your clinician or dietitian how this smoothie fits your eating plan; each estimated serving contains about 332 mg of potassium.

What swaps and variations can you try?

Use frozen pineapple

Swap the fresh pineapple for the same amount of unsweetened frozen pineapple. It makes the avocado pineapple smoothie colder and thicker without changing the basic combination; add a little water if necessary to help it blend.

Change the liquid

Replace some or all of the water with an unsweetened milk of your choice for a different flavor and texture. Milk changes the nutrition estimate, so the table below applies only to the water-based recipe.

Adjust the texture

For a thinner avocado pineapple smoothie, blend in extra water gradually. For a thicker one, start with less water and add the remainder as needed. Pineapple also gives a fruit-forward flavor to this pineapple detox smoothie.

What is the nutrition per serving?

The estimates below use USDA values for 100 g raw avocado and 165 g raw pineapple, divided into 2 equal servings. They include the water in the base recipe but no milk or other additions. Actual values vary with the fruit and the amount used.

Nutrient	Estimated amount per serving
Energy	121 kcal
Carbohydrates	15.1 g
Fiber	4.5 g
Total sugar	8.5 g
Fat	7.4 g
Protein	1.4 g
Vitamin C	44.4 mg
Potassium	332 mg

The listed sugar occurs naturally in the fruit; the base recipe has no added sugar. Avocado supplies most of the fat, while pineapple contributes most of the vitamin C.
