Chef tips
Roasting the pineapple concentrates its flavor and keeps the smoothie from tasting too sharp. For an even silkier texture, freeze the banana in slices before blending.
Substitutions
You can replace the honey with maple syrup for a vegan version, and use fermented plant-based yogurt instead of kefir. If you need a gluten-free option, use certified gluten-free oats.
