Ingredients
Scale
Smoothie Base
- 3 cups frozen pineapple
- 1 1/4 cups dairy-free milk (add more if needed)
- 2 fresh soft pears, cored and peeled or not (about 1 cup chopped)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 to 1 tsp celery seeds
Layer & Toppings
- 1/2 cup pineapple smoothie (reserved from the base)
- 1/4 cup raspberries
- 1/4 cup pineapple smoothie (reserved from the base)
- Pinch of turmeric powder
- Fresh coconut yogurt (for topping)
- Shredded coconut (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare Pineapple Smoothie Base: Blend 3 cups frozen pineapple, 1 1/4 cups dairy-free milk, 2 soft pears, lemon juice, and celery seeds together until the mixture is frosty smooth, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
- Divide Smoothie Into Portions: Separate the blended smoothie into three portions to create layered effects: the main base, a raspberry-infused pink layer, and a turmeric-brightened yellow layer.
- Make Raspberry Layer: Take about 1/2 cup of the pineapple smoothie base and blend it with 1/4 cup raspberries, or muddle the raspberries into it for a vibrant pink color.
- Make Turmeric Layer: Remove 1/4 cup of the pineapple smoothie from the base and stir in a small pinch of turmeric powder to create a brighter yellow layer with added anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Assemble Layers: Layer the different smoothie portions carefully into serving glasses, alternating the original pineapple smoothie, raspberry layer, and turmeric layer to create a visually appealing layered effect.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top the layered smoothie with fresh coconut yogurt and a sprinkling of shredded coconut for a tropical finish. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, nutrient-packed smoothie.
Notes
- Adjust the consistency by adding more dairy-free milk if the smoothie is too thick.
- Celery seeds add a subtle anti-inflammatory flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Use ripe pears for natural sweetness and smooth texture.
- The turmeric powder adds color and anti-inflammatory properties but use sparingly to avoid overpowering the flavor.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and freshness.
