Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours—shake well before drinking as separation may occur. Make-ahead: Pre-measure dry spices and chop ginger; store in an airtight container. Freeze pineapple chunks in advance. Variations: Substitute coconut milk with almond milk or oat milk. Add a handful of spinach for extra greens or ½ banana for creaminess. For protein, add a scoop of vanilla plant-based protein powder.
