Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks unsweetened
- 1 cup coconut water chilled
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain, full-fat or low-fat
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves packed
- 1 inch fresh ginger root peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice about half a lime
- 1 tsp honey optional, to taste
- 0.5 cup ice cubes optional, for thicker consistency
Notes
To make this vegan, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or 1/4 avocado for creaminess. This smoothie is best consumed immediately to benefit from the active enzymes, but can be stored in an airtight jar for up to 12 hours. For a boost in fiber, add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds before blending.
