I bought a fresh pineapple the other day and was looking for a new smoothie recipe to try with it. I found this one from Ali at GimmeSomeOven and decided this was it. I mean, who doesn’t want to feel good?
You can use fresh or frozen pineapple in the recipe. If you want it extra cold then freeze the amount of pineapple you need the night before, or at least for half an hour before using it. This will help make your smoothie extra creamy.
Ali says …
… the rockstar ingredient in this [smoothie] is indeed a hefty teaspoon of ground turmeric. I spoke about its potential health benefits awhile back in [another post] … But if you’re unfamiliar with it, it’s a popular spice that’s most commonly used in curries, and has a nice warm, earthy, peppery, and slightly bitter flavor. I love how it pairs with the pineapple, orange, ginger, coconut water and chia seeds in this recipe, each of which also happen to be known for their strong anti-inflammatory benefits.
