Description

A refreshing and nutritious Protein Pineapple Turmeric Smoothie blending tropical pineapple and banana with a boost of protein and anti-inflammatory turmeric. Perfect for a quick breakfast or post-workout energizer, this smoothie combines creamy coconut milk, optional chia seeds, and a touch of natural sweetness for a delicious, healthful drink.

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 banana, sliced

Liquids

  • 1 cup coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)

Protein & Spices

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (plant-based or whey)
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Optional Additions

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the pineapple chunks, sliced banana, coconut milk, vanilla protein powder, ground turmeric, chia seeds (if using), and honey or maple syrup depending on your preferred sweetness level.
  2. Add Ice (Optional): For a thicker texture, place a handful of ice cubes into the blender along with the other ingredients.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well incorporated.
  4. Taste the Smoothie: Sample your smoothie and adjust flavor as needed by adding more honey or maple syrup for sweetness or an extra pinch of turmeric for a stronger flavor.
  5. Pour and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into serving glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a pineapple slice for an appealing presentation. Consume immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute coconut milk with almond, oat, or dairy milk based on preference.
  • Chia seeds add extra fiber and omega-3s but can be omitted if desired.
  • Use frozen fruit to ensure a cold, refreshing smoothie without adding ice.
  • Adjust honey or maple syrup based on sweetness of the fruit and personal taste.
  • Consume immediately to benefit from the freshness and to maintain a creamy texture.
