I love how much goodness you can tuck 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 can help the body absorb curcumin more efficiently, so I recommend you don’t skip it.
My freezer is always stocked with frozen fruit because you never know when a smoothie craving will strike! If you’re ready to keep blending, give one of these a whirl: Try 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
- Just 3 main ingredients: All you need is milk, frozen pineapple, and ground turmeric.
- Naturally sweet: Ripe pineapple brings plenty of flavor without added sugar.
- Ready in five mins: Toss everything into the blender and let it whirl.
- Frosty and creamy: Frozen fruit creates a thick, refreshing consistency without relying on ice cubes.
- Anti-inflammatory properties: 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 more 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!
