Ingredients
Main Smoothie
- 3 cups frozen pineapple
- 1 ¼ cups dairy-free milk add more as needed
- 2 fresh soft pears cored and peeled or not, about 1 cup chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ to 1 teaspoon celery seeds
Pink Layer
- ½ cup pineapple smoothie
- ¼ cup raspberries
Yellow Layer
- ¼ cup pineapple smoothie
- Pinch turmeric powder
Instructions
- Blend all pineapple smoothie ingredients (frozen pineapple, dairy-free milk, fresh pears, lemon juice, celery seeds) until frosty and smooth.
- Blend ½ cup of the pineapple smoothie with ¼ cup raspberries or muddle raspberries into the smoothie.
- Mix ¼ cup of the pineapple smoothie with a pinch of turmeric powder to create a vibrant yellow layer.
- Layer the original smoothie, pink mixture, and yellow mixture sequentially in a serving glass. Optionally top with fresh coconut yogurt and shredded coconut for a tropical feel.
Notes
- For a tropical flavor, coconut milk pairs especially well with pineapple. Use carton coconut milk from the dairy section for a lighter taste or canned coconut milk for a richer flavor.
- Pears work great as a natural sweetener. Use soft, ripe pears for the best results. Avoid unripe, green pears.
- Green grapes or a ripe banana can be substituted for the pears if desired.
