Pineapple, Turmeric & Lime Crush Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients

1 pineapple
1 banana
50g baby leaf spinach
A thumb of turmeric
1 lime
330ml Ultimate Almond Drink
A few ice cubes

PINEAPPLE TIP: If you have a big blender, you can use all the pineapple in your smoothie although this will affect the nutritional information. Otherwise, wrap your spare pineapple up and store in the fridge (it’ll keep for a couple of days) and pop over to abelandcole.co.uk/recipes for all sorts of bright ideas for how to make the most of it. TURMERIC TIP: Fresh turmeric has a warm, earthy flavour that blend beautifully with sweet pineapple and bananas. Start by adding a little turmeric, then taste and add more if you want a more powerful quick. Be warned! Turmeric likes to stain everything yellow. Prepare it on a glass chopping board, a plate or a board you can wash up straight away and wear gloves and an apron to protect your hands and clothes.

Method

1. Slice the leaves off the pineapple and halve it, setting 1 half aside (see our tip). Slice the skin off the remaining half. Use the tip of your knife to scoop out any tough ‘eyes’. Roughly chop the pineapple, discarding any woody bits of core. Add the chopped pineapple to your blender.

2. Peel and break in the banana. Add the spinach. Peel and finely grate in the turmeric (see our note). Grate in the lime zest and squeeze in the juice from 1 half. Add 330ml Ultimate Almond Drink. Add a handful of ice cubes and blend till smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.
