Ingredients & Notes
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Pineapple: I prefer fresh pineapple chunks, but frozen fruit works just as well.
Lemon: It adds a lovely lemony touch and extra flavor.
Almond milk: Use unsweetened almond milk. Oat and cashew milk are great alternative options or use a milk of your choice.
Cacao powder: You can also use unsweetened cocoa powder to get that dark chocolate flavor.
Collagen powder: I use unflavored collagen peptides from either Vital Proteins or grass-fed collagen peptides from Garden of Life to add protein and creaminess.
Note: pineapple is a delicious fruit and a great addition to dark chocolate flavors. The colder the drink, the more it becomes a fruity smoothie as the sweet and acidic pineapple notes are intensified.

Helpful Tips
- Don't serve over ice cubes, as it thins out the smoothie's consistency.
- For a colder experience on warmer days, use frozen pineapple chunks or allow the drink to cool first in the fridge.
- Pineapple wedges and a sprinkle of extra cacao powder are my favorite garnishes.
Storage
Either enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
