Do pumpkin and pineapple go well together?

You wouldn’t think pumpkin and pineapple would be a great match, but they really work well together! In this delicious pineapple pumpkin smoothie, the sweetness of the pineapple balances out the richness of the pumpkin. It’s a combo you might not expect, but we can guarantee you’ll end up loving it once you try it!

What’s special about using DOLE® Frozen Tropical Gold® Pineapple Chunks in this smoothie?

Frozen Tropical Gold® Pineapple Chunks bring a vibrant, sweet flavor that takes this pumpkin spice smoothie to the next level. DOLE® Frozen Fruit was born to be blended. These pineapple chunks are quick-frozen to lock in nutrients and flavor, so you get all the benefits of fresh fruit in a convenient form. They create a creamy texture without needing ice, which keeps your smoothie from getting watered down. Plus, they’re non-GMO and packed with natural goodness, delivering a tropical tang that pairs perfectly with the spices and pumpkin in this recipe. This smoothie is both nutritious and delicious!

Is this pumpkin pineapple smoothie vegan?

Yep, this pineapple pumpkin smoothie is completely vegan! Everything in it, from the pineapple and pumpkin to the coconut milk and spices, is plant-based—making it a great choice if you’re looking for a smoothie that’s both tasty and vegan-friendly!

What can I substitute for coconut milk?

If you’re not a fan of coconut milk, or don’t have any on hand, you can substitute it with any other milk or milk alternative. Some other plant-based milk options include almond milk, oat milk, or cashew milk. Each will bring its own subtle flavor. For example, almond milk is a bit more light and nutty, and oat milk is creamier. If you prefer dairy, regular milk or even Greek yogurt can work in your pumpkin smoothie too. Although, the substitution will alter the taste slightly because coconut milk provides a tropical vibe—but these other options can be equally delicious. It all depends on your preference!
