Copycat Aloha Pineapple Smoothie Recipe
I’m a sucker for a good smoothie! I love fresh fruits and creamy smoothies with a sweet flavor. One of my favorite smoothie’s is a Jamba Juice Aloha Pineapple Smoothie. I’ve seen copycat recipes, but they use ingredients I rarely have on hand. This is a super easy smoothie alternative that while isn’t identical in taste, is really good and comparable! Our copycat Aloha Pineapple Smoothie recipe is our favorite smoothie!

Aloha Pineapple Smoothie Recipe
- 1/2 cup fresh pineapple
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries
- 1/2 a banana
- 1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt
- 1 cup crushed ice
Toss all ingredients – fruit, yogurt and ice, into the blender. Blend until well blended and smooth. You can substitute in frozen strawberries if they are out of season, as they can be price out of season, cut back a little bit on the ice if using frozen berries.
I absolutely LOVE my Blendtec blender, and the wildside jar is a MUST for smoothies. It blends up everything like a dream. Just literally toss everything in, press blend, and wait about 30 seconds and you’re done! It’s pricey, but oh-so worth it!! I can’t tell you how many cheap blender died on me and had to be replaced.
For the Greek yogurt, I prefer yoplait’s Greek yogurt as it’s really creamy and good. If you have a favorite, by all means use that variety, but some Greek yogurts can be kind of bland. You can use regular yogurt, but a good variety or Greek yogurt will be better than traditional yogurt for this recipe.
For bananas, you want the skin to have a few polka dots. I used to avoid spotty bananas, until I learned that’s when they have the best flavor. Once I tried them with a few spots and noticed what a difference in the taste I was converted! Don’t be afraid of a few spots! This ingredients picture was when I first bought all my supplies. I let both the pineapple and bananas sit a few days to ripen before we made our smoothies. Wait until your pineapple smells really fragrant to tell when it’s ripe!

This looks super yummy and so easy to make. I need to get a better blender to start making smoothies again.
Great recipe with fresh ingredients.
We bought a new blender a couple of weeks ago and have been playing with smoothies a lot. We have some milk allergies and have been finding that we can do a smoothie as an alternative for ice cream. I’m even trying to do them more, but I sure do love ice cream…
I love fruit smoothies. So do my kids. We also freeze them into popsicles.
This is one of the tastiest drinks I ever drank. DELICIOUS
Ohhh, this looks amazing. I have all the stuff I need to make this this morning. WOOT.
I love making fruit smoothies!! I have not tried them with greek yogurt yet. Looks amazing!
I love all things pineapple and cannot wait to try this.
This looks like a very good smoothie. Thanks for the tip about the bananas. I always wondered which bananas were the best to use.
Looks like a powerhouse of good! I’ll be using some of my frozen fruit up with this!
That is Hawaii in a glass. Thanks for sharing this. I can’t wait to make it.
This sounds really good. I love smoothies and I love pineapple. I’m sure I would really love this too. Smoothies are one of my favorite drinks, especially in the spring/summer.
This looks amazing. I bet that the Yoplait Greek makes this really creamy and delish!
I can hear the waves and smell the warm sand already! We keep pineapples around all year here so I will definitely be trying this recipe!
I haven’t done this with Pineapple yet…what a great combo. I’ve done the same shake with Mangos and it rocked, but Pineapple sounds awesome too!
This smoothie sounds so good! And to amp up protein after a workout, I can add my protein powder to this!
I have never been to Jamba Juice but everyone says it is so good. This would be a big hit in my house.
What a yummy, healthy treat. Thanks so much for sharing this! I’m in love with smoothies.
I’ll be making this VERY soon! I love smoothies. They’re so healthy, and this one looks absolutely divine.
That sounds really tasty. I am sure my kids would love that.
This looks SO yummy! Thanks for the tip about the bananas, I too, have avoided those with spots!
This is really random, but I love how smoothies turn out in such pretty colors. It makes me want to eat them even more.
I think I need some me time to really enjoy this one, pineapple is my favorite! Great smoothie recipe!
I have to say that I love Fruit Smoothies better than vege smoothies. I like this recipe! I got a new blender for Christmas and I am going to make this recipe. It looks easy and delicious!
