Ingredients
Pineapple Smoothie
- 3 cups frozen pineapple
- 1 ¼ cup dairy-free milk (such as almond or oat milk), add more if needed
- 2 fresh soft pears, cored and peeled or not, about 1 cup chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ to 1 teaspoon celery seeds
Pineapple Smoothie with Pink Layer
- ½ cup pineapple smoothie
- ¼ cup raspberries
Yellow Layer
- ¼ cup pineapple smoothie
- Pinch of turmeric powder
Toppings (optional)
- Fresh coconut yogurt
- Shredded coconut
Instructions
- Make the Pineapple Smoothie: Combine 3 cups frozen pineapple, 1 ¼ cup dairy-free milk, 2 soft pears (cored and peeled or not), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and ½ to 1 teaspoon celery seeds in a blender. Blend until smooth and frosty, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Prepare the Pink Layer: Take about ½ cup of the prepared pineapple smoothie and add ¼ cup raspberries. Either muddle the raspberries into the smoothie or blend briefly to mix for a vibrant pink portion.
- Prepare the Yellow Layer: Remove ¼ cup of the original pineapple smoothie and stir in a pinch of turmeric powder to create a bright yellow layer with anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Layer the Smoothie: In serving glasses or jars, carefully layer the pink raspberry smoothie, the yellow turmeric smoothie, and the remaining pineapple smoothie to create distinct colorful layers.
- Add Toppings: Optionally, top the layered smoothie with fresh coconut yogurt and sprinkle shredded coconut for an added tropical flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use frozen pineapple chunks to achieve the best frosty consistency.
- Adjust the amount of dairy-free milk to reach desired smoothie thickness.
- Celery seeds provide an extra anti-inflammatory boost but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Turmeric powder adds color and health benefits but has a strong flavor—use a small pinch only.
- Fresh coconut yogurt and shredded coconut toppings are optional but enhance flavor and presentation.
