Why This Recipe Works
- It's filling. This pineapple melon smoothie is very filling, so one glass could be a nice snack between meals if you're looking for a healthier way to curb your appetite and reduce snacking throughout the day.
- It's fast. If you've already got frozen watermelon on hand, you can have a glass full of smoothie ready in moments. Just put everything in the blender for a quick spin and serve.
- It's delicious! Made with tropical flavors and fruits this smoothie is a great option for everyone. The vitamins, calcium, and fiber are all pretty nice too.
🥘 Ingredients
Frozen watermelon- Save your leftover watermelon by slicing it and placing it on a baking sheet to freeze overnight. Or simply buy it already frozen from the grocery store (if your store sells it).
Pineapple chunks- You can use fresh or canned pineapple, depending on what you have on hand.
Frozen banana- A frozen banana will help to thicken this smoothie and add more sweetness, but you can use a fresh ripe banana if that's what you have on hand.
Orange juice- You'll want to use orange juice to get the smoothie to the perfect drinking consistency.
Frozen vanilla yogurt- I like to use frozen yogurt in my smoothies because it keeps them thick and cold. You can use chilled yogurt from the fridge, though!

🍴 Recipe Tips
You can modify this watermelon yogurt smoothie as desired. If you want it thicker, add in more frozen banana; if you want it thinner, add in a little more orange juice.
You can even toss in any berries or fruits you happen to have on hand, including raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries. All of these would work great with this frozen watermelon smoothie.
If you want a stronger pineapple flavor, use fresh or frozen instead of canned.
This pineapple watermelon banana smoothie pairs great with frozen yogurt when looking for a nutritious sweet drink, but you could use Greek yogurt in its place if desired. Or vanilla ice cream if you just want it creamy and delicious and don't mind the added sugars.

Yes. These two flavors really work well together because the watermelon is juicy, sweet, and subtle, whereas pineapple is more tart and in your face with its flavors. Together they make a nice symphony of flavors to enjoy.
Watermelon is a great weight loss fruit because of its amino acids and high water content. Adding in other fruits can help to pack a glass full of tasty vitamins, nutrients, and potassium.
