Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks frozen for a thicker texture
  • 1 ripe banana preferably frozen
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric or 1-inch fresh turmeric root, peeled
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds plus extra for garnish
Liquid & Creaminess
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt optional, for extra protein and creaminess
Flavor & Health Boosters
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper enhances turmeric absorption
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated, optional
  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup or honey optional, to taste

Method
 

  1. If using fresh pineapple and banana, peel and chop them into chunks. For a thicker, creamier smoothie, freeze the fruit chunks for at least 2 hours beforehand. Measure out all other ingredients.
  2. Add the pineapple, banana, almond milk, turmeric, chia seeds, cinnamon, black pepper, and optional ginger and yogurt to a high-speed blender. Secure the lid tightly.
  3. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and has a uniform vibrant yellow color. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
  4. Taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, add the optional maple syrup or honey and blend for another 5-10 seconds to incorporate.
  5. Pour the smoothie into a clear glass. Sprinkle an additional 1/2 teaspoon of chia seeds on top for garnish and texture. Serve immediately with a straw.
