Pineapple Smoothie Base
- 3 cups frozen pineapple
- 1 1/4 cup dairy-free milk (such as almond, coconut, or oat milk)*
- 2 fresh soft pears, cored and peeled or not (about 1 cup chopped)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 to 1 tsp celery seeds
Layering and Toppings
- 1/4 cup raspberries
- Pinch turmeric powder
- Optional toppings: fresh coconut yogurt, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the Pineapple Smoothie Base: Blend together the frozen pineapple, dairy-free milk, pears, lemon juice, and celery seeds until the mixture is frosty smooth and creamy.
- Create the Pink Layer: Take about 1/2 cup of the pineapple smoothie base and blend it again with the raspberries until fully combined to achieve a pink hue.
- Create the Bright Yellow Layer: Remove approximately 1/4 cup of the original pineapple smoothie base and stir in a pinch of turmeric powder to intensify the yellow color.
- Assemble the Layered Smoothie: In a serving glass, layer the different smoothie portions by pouring one on top of the other carefully to maintain the distinct colors.
- Add Toppings for Extra Flavor: Top your layered smoothie with fresh coconut yogurt and shredded coconut for an added tropical touch and texture.
Notes
- Dairy-free milk options include almond, coconut, or oat milk, but any plant-based milk will work.
- Adjust the amount of celery seeds to your taste as they have a strong flavor.
- The pears can be peeled or unpeeled based on your preference; softer pears are recommended for blending.
- Turmeric powder is optional but adds both color and anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and fresh flavors.
