Why You’ll Love This Pineapple Cucumber Smoothie

If sunshine had a flavor, this smoothie would be it. Bright, tropical pineapple meets cool, crisp cucumber to create a drink that’s equal parts refreshing and nourishing. With a little help from our JOI Almond or Cashew Milk Concentrate, you’ll get all the creamy, dairy-free goodness without the funky additives you find in most store-bought milks.

Think of it as your go-to I-need-to-feel-like-I’m-on-vacation-but-I’ve-got-a-9am-meeting smoothie. It’s perfect for post-workouts, hot afternoons, or whenever you want to sneak more greens into your day.

A Smoothie That’s Actually Good for You

Every sip is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and plant-powered hydration:

• Spinach: A handful of leafy greens that blends in without messing up the tropical flavor. Bonus: it’s rich in iron, calcium, and antioxidants.

• Pineapple: Naturally sweet and bursting with vitamin C, it also contains bromelain, an enzyme that supports digestion (source).

• Cucumber: The ultimate hydration hero—low in calories, high in water content, and packed with antioxidants (source).

• Banana: Creamy, potassium-rich, and just enough natural sweetness to keep this smoothie from tasting like a green juice.

• Lime: A little citrus tang brightens everything up and helps with vitamin C absorption.

Blend it all with cold water and a spoonful or two of your favorite JOI milk concentrates, and you’ve got a nourishing, dairy-free smoothie with no gums, no fillers, and no hard-to-pronounce ingredients.

Why Use JOI in This Smoothie

Store-bought almond milk is mostly water and contains additives like gums, lecithins, and stabilizers. With JOI, you skip the nonsense:

• Clean Label: Our milk concentrates are made with simple, purposeful ingredients. 

• Nutrient-Dense:  Our milk concentrate delivers the full nutrition of whole almonds or cashews—no watered-down flavors here.

• Sustainable: Using JOI means less packaging waste and a smaller carbon footprint. Add the water yourself and make only what you need.

• Convenient: One jar lives in your pantry for months. Stir, blend, and you’ve got fresh plant milk on demand.

This isn’t just plant milk—it’s plant milk the way it should taste.

Easy, Breezy, Blend-and-Go

No culinary school degree required. This smoothie is as simple as throwing fresh ingredients into your blender and hitting “go.” The result? A smooth, creamy, slightly tangy drink that cools you down instantly.

Substitutions and Customizations

Make this one your own with these simple swaps:

• Switch up the greens: Use kale or romaine instead of spinach.

• Try a different JOI: Any JOI works well in this recipe - use whatever you have on hand.

• A serving of JOI almond protein powder adds 10g of protein!

• Make it tropical: Swap water for coconut water and add mango.

• Turn it into a smoothie bowl: Use less water, add more JOI and some chia seeds when blending; top with granola, chia seeds, and extra fruit.

Hydration Meets Flavor

Between the cucumber, pineapple, and lime, this smoothie is a hydration powerhouse. Perfect for hot summer days or after sweaty workouts. It’s naturally electrolyte-rich (source) without the artificial dyes and syrups found in sports drinks. Plus, the vitamin C from pineapple and lime helps support your immune system, while spinach and banana provide fiber to keep you satisfied longer (source).
