Pineapple Crush Smoothie
A simply made smoothie perfect for breakfast or anytime of day. Delicious as well as good for you. Indulgence in a thick, creamy, frappe-like treat.
Servings 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple chunks I use canned to benefit from the added juice
- ½ cup pineapple juice just use from the canned pineapple
- ½ cup canned coconut milk*
- ½ banana preferably frozen
- ½ - 1 cup crushed ice
- ¾ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger can use fresh
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
Notes
*You can use unsweetened carton coconut milk or canned. Canned is more condensed and higher in fat and calories, but I like the thickness of it. If using the canned version, make sure the brand uses a BPA-free can and shake or mix to incorporate before adding. You can also use the milk of your choice - plain kefir, milk, almond milk. If using the carton milks, use unsweetened and increase to 1 cup because they aren't as thick as the canned coconut.
This makes a good amount. The ice makes gives it volume.
