Helpful Tips and Variations

  • Replace coconut milk with almond or oat milk for a different twist.
  • For an added nutrient boost, toss in a handful of spinach or kale.
  • Serve in a chilled glass and garnish with a pineapple wedge for an extra touch of sophistication.

Storage and Substitutions

Refrigerate any leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving as separation may occur.

If you can’t find fresh pineapple, canned pineapple (in juice, not syrup) can be a great substitute. Similarly, if fresh ginger isn’t available, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger can be used.

Pairings and Complements

This Pineapple Turmeric Smoothie pairs beautifully with a light summer salad, grilled chicken skewers, or a simple cheese platter. For a sweet treat, enjoy it alongside some coconut macaroons or pineapple shortbread cookies.
