Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks about 10 oz, for thickness
- 1 inch fresh ginger root peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 tsp ground turmeric or 1/2 inch fresh turmeric, peeled
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk

Notes
Storage: This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake or stir before serving as it may separate. Make-Ahead Tip: Pre-portion the frozen pineapple, ginger, and turmeric into individual freezer bags for a grab-and-blend breakfast. Variations: Add a handful of spinach for extra greens, a scoop of vanilla protein powder for a protein boost, or swap the almond milk for coconut milk for a creamier, tropical flavor. For a spicier kick, increase the ginger to 1.5 inches.
