Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks (for a cold, thick smoothie)
- 1 medium frozen banana (peeled and sliced before freezing)
Liquids
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut water, or other milk of choice)
Spices & Extras
- 1/2 inch fresh ginger (peeled and roughly chopped) (optional, for extra kick)
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric (or 1-inch fresh turmeric root, peeled and chopped)
- 1/2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp chia seeds (optional, for extra fiber and thickness)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including frozen pineapple, frozen banana, almond milk, fresh ginger (if using), turmeric, honey or maple syrup, and chia seeds. Make sure the banana and pineapple are frozen to ensure a thick and cold smoothie.
- Blend Ingredients: Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your preferred consistency.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass immediately. Optionally, garnish with a small pineapple wedge or a light sprinkle of turmeric for an extra tropical touch and visual appeal.
Notes
- Use frozen banana and pineapple to achieve the ideal thick and cold smoothie texture without needing added ice.
- The fresh ginger is optional but adds a nice zesty kick alongside the turmeric’s earthiness.
- Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup based on your taste preference; you can omit entirely for a natural fruit sweetness.
- Chia seeds are optional and add extra fiber and help thicken the smoothie further.
- For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey.
