Ingredients
- 1.5 cups pineapple chunks fresh or frozen, core removed
- 1 cup coconut milk unsweetened, from carton or can
- 1 cup ice cubes optional if using frozen pineapple
- 1 inch fresh ginger peeled and roughly chopped

Notes
Storage: Best consumed immediately but can be refrigerated in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking as separation is natural. Make-ahead: Freeze pineapple chunks and ginger in portioned bags for quick blending. Substitutions: Use almond milk or oat milk instead of coconut milk; replace turmeric with fresh if available. Variations: Add a handful of spinach for extra greens, or swap lime juice for lemon. Serving: Serve in a tall glass with a straw; the turmeric may stain clothing, so handle with care.
