🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (packed)
  • ½ cup coconut water (natural, unsweetened)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (or ½ tsp ground)
  • ½ banana (frozen, optional, for thickness)
  • 3–4 ice cubes
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tsp raw honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder (anti-inflammatory boost)
  • Juice of ¼ lime (brightness and digestion aid)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep Your Ginger: If using fresh ginger, peel a 1-inch piece with a spoon to remove skin easily. Grate finely using a microplane or box grater. Fresh ginger delivers maximum digestive enzymes; measure out 1 tsp.
2. Add Liquid Base: Pour ½ cup coconut water into your blender first. This prevents frozen fruit from sticking to the blade and ensures smooth blending.
3. Layer Soft Ingredients: Add non-fat Greek yogurt (½ cup), vanilla extract (½ tsp), and the pinch of sea salt. These provide creaminess and balance the ginger heat.

4. Add Greens and Ginger: Layer fresh spinach (1 cup, packed) and freshly grated ginger (1 tsp). The liquid will help break down the greens during blending.
5. Add Frozen Fruit and Ice: Top with 1 cup frozen pineapple and 3–4 ice cubes. Add optional turmeric (¼ tsp) and lime juice (¼ lime). Frozen banana can be added for thicker texture, though it adds 27 calories.
6. Blend on High: Blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth. If too thick, add 2–3 tbsp almond milk. If too thin, add more ice or frozen pineapple.
7. Taste and Adjust: Blend for 10 more seconds after tasting. Add raw honey (1 tsp) only if you need sweetness—pineapple should dominate. Add more ginger if you want extra digestive kick.
8. Serve Immediately: Pour into a tall glass and drink within 5 minutes to preserve enzyme activity and prevent oxidation of spinach. This smoothie is best fresh.
