This super creamy avocado smoothie offers bright tropical flavors, including pineapple, orange, banana and coconut. It's a fruity delight!

Have you tried avocado in your smoothies? Hereโs an ultra-creamy smoothie recipe made with avocado, pineapple, banana and coconut. Fresh orange and lime juice make it nicely zippy. This smoothie tastes like a tropical treatโmake one when you need an island vacation!
I particularly like this vegan smoothie because itโs incredibly creamy and incorporates some healthy fat from the avocado. I like to treat it like dessert and eat it with a spoon.
Hot summer days call for refreshing frozen treats, and this homemade blended option is ready in minutes.
Avocado Smoothie Tips
Youโll find the full recipe below. Here are a few options and substitutions to make it suit your taste buds:
- If you donโt like the flavor of coconut, skip it.
- Add a handful of fresh spinach to the blender for some healthy greens.
- Include the optional ice-cold water if you want a smoothie thatโs easier to sip through a straw, or if you have trouble blending the mixture. Omit it for an intensely creamy, sweet and tangy smoothie that is almost like a sorbet or light coconutty sherbet.
- While you could add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to this smoothie, I donโt recommend it. It covers up the bright tropical flavors, and they shine without it. Save the protein powders for a simpler smoothie.

I havenโt tried avo in smoothies yet, but I certainly will! This looks delish!
wow what a blend of fruits!! i love avocados in my smoothies (just honey + milk + avo) but never had them mixed with other fruits!
This is an interesting twist and what a great flavor idea! I havenโt used avocado in a smoothie yet, but I certainly will now! I think it will compliment really nicely with the pineapple.
this looks so good and creamy! beautiful picture as usual
Pineapple and coconut milk sound like a wonderful addition to the avo, and this photo is just gorgeous :) I love your blog, Kate!
Thank you, Megan! I have been a big fan of your blog for a while now. Iโm glad you came to visit!
I love the name of this smoothie and avocadoes are my absolute fav in smoothies. Iโm just adoring your blog. xo
This is entirely awesome and I think I need to try it. YUM coconut milk!!
Nice flavor for a summer treat. This is probably the creamiest smoothie I have ever had. It has the consistency of yogurt.
Thanks, Gwen!
I just tried this for the first time and all I can say is yum! The avocado makes it so creamy but you barely taste it, the banana and pineapple are the perfect combination for this tasty summer treat!
Thanks, Molly! Iโm happy to hear that you enjoyed the smoothie.
Just made this! Didnโt have coconut milk sadly but I had some plain yoghurt so I chucked that in with some honey to keep it from getting too tart. Perfect! Never tried avo in a smoothie before but Iโm hooked! :)
I bet itโs great with yogurt! Thanks for commenting, Kat.
Waooโฆ This is my 3rd tried drink from Kate and I am amazedโฆ.. This really taste very good. I didnโt have orange juice so I used grape juice. Also didnโt have coconut milk and used almond milk. It still taste very good. Thanks much Kate for this delicious recipesโฆ.
God bless!!!!
Thanks, KD! Glad to hear youโre enjoying my drink recipes!

This recipe sounds delicious and refreshing, even finding it on a winter day! I really enjoy avocados in my plant based protein smoothies. It really gives it a creamy mouth feel. I want to try more of your recipes!
Chiming in late, but I found this recipe and we have had it twice now. Itโs delicious and creamy and the fruits cover the taste of the avocado so I can trick my picky eater! Love it!
Thanks, Sara!
I canโt have bananas is there something I should use in place of it or just remove it from the mix?
Hey Neisha! The bananas lend some sweetness and creaminess to the smoothie, but I do think it would still be great without them. You might add some almond milk to make up for the creaminess and/or some ice to make sure itโs a frozen treat.
wow! Pineapple Avocado Smoothie looks awesome. I have not tried, I can not resist the Enticement to see! thanks for shareโฆ
Yummy! This Pineapple Avocado Smoothie looks is really awesome! I think it is very effective for Weight Loss Challenge! thanks for shareโฆ
Your recipe rescued another avo/pineapple/coconut milk one that I was hating. Thank you so much for posting a good recipe!!
Iโm glad you liked this one, Mahni!
Really light and refreshing. I couldnโt taste the avocado at all which is great for people who are scared of it in a smoothie. Definitely great to brighten up a cloudy spring day but I bet it would be equally great if the weather was nice too!
Thanks for your feedback, Hannah!
This smoothie is incredibly delicious and refreshing! I love it and most importantly, it is my picky daughters absolute favourite. They have it almost everyday. Iโm so glad we found your website and I can get more nutritious snacks/ meals into my daughters.
Thatโs great to hear! Thank you for sharing, Nicole.
This is delicious!
Thank you for your review, Beth!
Delish! My toddler and I are under the weather with coughs and sore throats. This was a perfect smoothie! I added ยผ tsp chlorella/spirulina for green. Just enough to see but not taste.
Iโm glad this helped some! I hope your toddler is better now.
