Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks natural source of bromelain
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut water for hydration and electrolytes
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla; use coconut yogurt for vegan
- 1 tsp ground turmeric high-quality organic preferred
- 0.5 tsp fresh ginger grated or minced
- 1 pinch black pepper essential to activate curcumin absorption
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for Omega-3 fatty acids
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup optional for added sweetness
Notes
For the best results, use frozen fruit to achieve a thick, milkshake-like consistency without watering it down with ice. If you are using fresh pineapple, add 1 cup of ice cubes. You can store leftovers in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours, though some separation may occur; simply shake well before drinking. To make this vegan, substitute the Greek yogurt with cashew or coconut yogurt.
