Ingredients
Scale
Pineapple Smoothie Base
- 3 cups frozen pineapple
- 1 1/4 cups dairy-free milk (add more if needed)
- 2 fresh soft pears, cored and peeled or unpeeled (about 1 cup chopped)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 to 1 tsp celery seeds
Layering & Toppings
- 1/4 cup raspberries
- Pinch of turmeric powder
- Fresh coconut yogurt (optional, for topping)
- Shredded coconut (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the pineapple smoothie base: Combine the frozen pineapple, dairy-free milk, pears, lemon juice, and celery seeds in a blender. Blend until the mixture is frosty smooth and creamy.
- Create the raspberry layer: Take about 1/2 cup of the pineapple smoothie base and add raspberries. Either muddle the raspberries into it or blend them together to create a vibrant pink layer.
- Create the turmeric layer: Remove about 1/4 cup of the original pineapple smoothie base and stir in a pinch of turmeric powder to brighten the yellow color. Stir gently to combine without over-blending.
- Assemble the layered smoothie: In your serving glass or bowl, pour the layers of smoothie carefully, one on top of the other, to create a beautiful layered effect with the pink raspberry and turmeric-yellow portions on top of the base.
- Add toppings and serve: Finish your smoothie with a dollop of fresh coconut yogurt and a sprinkle of shredded coconut for an extra tropical touch. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use dairy-free milk such as almond, coconut, or oat milk to keep the smoothie vegan and dairy-free.
- Adjust the amount of celery seeds according to your taste; they add a subtle herbal note and potential anti-inflammatory benefits.
- The turmeric powder is optional but adds a beautiful color and anti-inflammatory properties.
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen pineapple and less dairy-free milk, or add ice cubes.
- This smoothie is best consumed fresh to retain the nutrients and vibrant flavors.
