Tips and Substitutions
- Oranges: Always use fresh oranges for this pineapple orange smoothie recipe. Look for oranges that have some give when you squeeze them. That’s a sign of ripeness. Also, avoid any citrus with scars, bruises, or discoloration. The skin should be vibrant and waxy, not dried out.
- Pineapple: There are a few ways to tell when a pineapple is ripe. One way is by squeezing the shell of the pineapple. It should be firm but slightly give way. Ripe pineapples also have a sweet smell at the bottom of the fruit. If there is no smell, the pineapple is not ripe yet, and it may be overripe if the smell is bitter. Juicy, ripe pineapples are also often heavier than unripe pineapples, and finally, you can pull the large leaves at the top (fonds); if they pull out quickly, this is a sign that the pineapple is ripe.
