I love how much goodness you can tuck into a smoothie into a smoothie and this one packs a PUNCH—pineapple provides vitamin C, while turmeric contains curcumin, a plant compound studied for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The optional pinch of black pepper adds a subtle kick and may help the body absorb curcumin more efficiently.

My freezer is always stocked with frozen fruit because you never know when a smoothie craving will strike! If you’re in the mood to keep blending, give one of these a whirl: my Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie, Piña Colada Smoothie, Longevity Smoothie, Chocolate-Peanut Butter Smoothie or my 3-Ingredient Protein Smoothie!

Golden reasons you’ll love this smoothie

  • Three main ingredients: All you need is milk, frozen pineapple and ground turmeric.
  • Naturally sweet: Ripe pineapple brings plenty of fruity flavor without added sugar.
  • Ready in five: Toss everything into the blender and let it whirl.
  • Frosty and creamy: Frozen fruit creates a thick, refreshing consistency without banana.
  • A smart spice pairing: Add the optional black pepper to complement turmeric and enhance curcumin absorption.

A quick blender tip: begin with the listed amount of milk and add water just one tablespoon at a time, if needed. This keeps the smoothie lush and creamy instead of thin. Then pour, sip and let the sunshine in!
