I love pineapple smoothies. In this one I use carrot juice for the liquid and it works beautifully, as it's neither too sweet nor too acidic.

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/4 ripe pineapple, cored, skinned and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 heaped cup, or/ 7 ounces)
1 tablespoon soaked chia seeds (1 teaspoon dry unsoaked)
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds, soaked overnight in water and drained
1/2 cup carrot juice
1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley leaves, firmly packed
4 to 5 fresh mint leaves
Ice cubes

Steps:

To soak the chia seeds, place in a jar or bowl and add 4 tablespoons water for every tablespoon of chia seeds. Place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. The seeds and water will be become gelatinous.
Scoop up a tablespoon of seeds with the gooey liquid and place in a blender (don't worry, your smoothie won't have this consistency). Add the remaining ingredients and blend for 1 full minute at high speed.

Tips:

For a thicker smoothie, use frozen pineapple or add a scoop of chia seeds to the blender.
If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before adding it to the blender.
Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the smoothie for a sweeter flavor.
If you like a tart smoothie, add a squeeze of lemon juice.
For a creamy smoothie, add a tablespoon of yogurt or cottage cheese to the blender.
Serve the smoothie immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later.
