Author: Alissa

Serves: 1-2

Ingredients

• 1 inch piece fresh turmeric, peeled (or 1 tsp. dried turmeric)
• 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
• 1 cup unflavored soy or almond milk (could substitute some or all with coconut milk)
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Place turmeric, ginger, banana and pineapple in blender and blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of pitcher as needed.
2. Add milk and vanilla. Blend again until smooth.

Notes

If you substitute coconut milk, you'll get something that tastes even more like a pina coloda. I opted to go with unflavored soy milk, to keep my smoothie on the light side.
