Ingredients
- 1.5 cup fresh pineapple chunks frozen for a thicker texture
- 0.5 medium English cucumber roughly chopped, skin on
- 1 cup coconut water chilled
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice about half a lime
- 1 tsp fresh ginger grated

Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately. Any leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake or stir well before drinking as separation may occur. Make-Ahead: Pre-chop the pineapple and cucumber and store them in a freezer bag to freeze, creating a ready-to-blend smoothie pack. Variations: For a tropical twist, add a handful of spinach or a 1/4 cup of coconut milk. Substitute coconut water with chilled green tea or plain water.
