Shake up your smoothie routine - save the typical strawberries and blueberries for another day! Pineapple is a great source of vitamins and minerals (like vitamin C and manganese). It also contains an enzyme called bromelain, which helps reduce swelling and pain throughout the body.
Ingredients
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple in juice
½ cup canned light coconut milk
1 cup ice
Preparation
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before you begin cooking.
Open canned pineapple, and do not drain. Reserve the juice.
Place pineapple with juice, coconut milk, and ice in blender.
Blend ingredients until smooth.
Tips:
You can also make this with frozen pineapple to replace the ice! Or you can open a can of pineapple, put into a freezer bag, and put in a freezer to freeze prior to making!
You can add 1 cup fresh spinach to your smoothie to add a healthy serving of vegetables to your drink!
