Calories: 293kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana peeled
- 1 ½ cups chopped fresh or frozen diced pineapple 220 grams
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon powdered turmeric
- 1 pinch of black pepper optional—a few turns with the peppermill
- 1 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk like almond or oat milk 227 grams
- 1 pitted date optional
- ¼ cup roasted or raw hulled sunflower seeds 30 grams
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until you get a beautiful creamy smoothie.
- Taste-test the smoothie. Add an extra date if you prefer it sweeter.
- Pour in a glass and enjoy!
Notes
- Turmeric: feel free to use one tablespoon of freshly grated turmeric if you have it instead of powdered turmeric.
- Ginger: I prefer freshly grated ginger in this smoothie, but you can replace it with ⅓ teaspoon ground ginger.
- Frozen pineapple: choose frozen pineapple if you want a cool smoothie (or add a frozen banana).
- Pitted date: a date adds a delicious subtle sweetness and extra fiber. Feel free to leave it out or add an extra one for a sweeter taste. I usually add only one.
- Sunflower seeds: They make this smoothie SUPER creamy—they are also high in magnesium, calcium, vitamin B, and E. Sometimes, I throw in a few pumpkin seeds or hazelnuts.
- It serves 2 as it is very filling. Feel free to double the ingredients to serve more or chill some for later.
