Ingredients

  • Fresh pineapple chunks: 2 cups that’s around 500 grams for my metric friends
  • A thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger which is about 2.5 cm if you’re measuring
  • Creamy Greek yogurt: 1 cup or 240 ml
  • Smooth almond milk: 1 cup again, 240 ml
  • Some good ol’ honey: 2 tablespoons 30 ml should do
  • A handful of ice cubes roughly a cup

Instructions

  • Begin with the pineapple. Get rid of the skin, the spikes, and don’t forget the core.
  • Now, tackle the ginger. Skin it and grate it till you get some juicy bits.
  • Take your blender. Chuck in the pineapple and ginger.
  • Slide in the Greek yogurt, making things rich and creamy.
  • Almond milk’s turn. In it goes.
  • Drizzle in that honey for a sweet touch.
  • Throw in the ice if you’re in the mood for a chill.
  • Hit the blend button. Keep it going till everything’s silky smooth.
  • Taste time. If you’re craving more sweetness, a dash more honey might be your answer.
  • Grab your favorite glass, pour, and voila!

Notes

LITTLE SECRETS:
Super ripe pineapples? That’s the secret to a sugary Pineapple and Ginger Smoothie.
Fancy a bolder zing? A tad more ginger won’t hurt.
No fresh pineapple? Grab the frozen ones, and you can skip the ice.
Too thick? A splash more almond milk can sort that out.
SERVING THE RIGHT WAY:
Think about garnishing. A sliver of pineapple or even a dash of ginger powder works wonders.
Metal or bamboo straws? They’re not just eco-chic; they feel great too.
Light salads or a fruit bowl? Perfect pals for this smoothie.
Early bird? This Pineapple and Ginger Smoothie could be your sunrise buddy.
