My awesome smoothie maker I purchased last summer has been a blessing in disguise. We’ve created smoothies, slushes, ice cream drinks, shakes and so much more. We’ve experimented with different fruits and combination’s, flavors and syrups and just had a ton of fun. One of my favorite drinks we created is what we call the Sunny Hawaiian Smoothie because it reminds us of a hot summer day in Hawaii, and we’ve served it twice at two different Luau’s we’ve hosted. It’s a big hit and I’m usually asked for the recipe.
Sunny Hawaiian Smoothie
1 c. orange juice
1 can (10oz) of crushed pineapple with juice
2 med. bananas
1 8oz. carton plain or vanilla yogurt (We found coconut cream yogurt once and tried it and yeah… wish I could buy it in big size because it was amazing!!)
1 c. ice
splash of grenadine syrup for color, if desired
Add the ice, pineapple and bananas in a blender; process until smooth. Add the orange juice and yogurt and blend. Pour into glasses, and add a splash of grenadine syrup for color if desired. Serve immediately. You can garnish the side of the glass with a pineapple slice for decoration.
NOTE: You can use more or less of any of the fruit ingredients – just changes up the flavor, makes one more prominent than another, etc. Enjoy this recipe!

This recipe looks delicious! I’ve been making fruit smoothies for awhile and enjoy finding new recipes.
How many servings does this make? 2? Or just 1?
It makes more than enough for 1 person, but probably not enough for 3 people with big glasses of smoothie. Hope that helps.
Can you please tell me what size of pineapple to use? Thank you!
Hi Judi, I use anything from a 10oz can to a 15oz can. Haven’t gone over that size yet. Generally a 10oz can works best, unless you want even more wonderful pineapple flavor
What size carton of yogurt?
I usually use an 8oz carton of yogurt, but you could use more or less depending on your tastes. I’ve updated the recipe.
Nicole about how many calories are in this smoothie? It looks so delicious!
I used myfitnesspal.com to kinda throw the ingredients together. Assuming you were going to serve it to 4 people, the calories for one 8oz glass of smoothie would be approximately 160 calories (take or give) (depending on which brands you go with, etc.)
