PINEAPPLE-BASIL SMOOTHIE



Pineapple-Basil Smoothie image

I'm not sure that I would order this just based on the name. But believe me, you'll be pleased by this herbal concoction. Pineapple has so much sweetness and flavor on its own, and it marries well with the peppery, anisy basil. Very little else is required (no banana in this smoothie). I like to use kefir, but yogurt will work too. Pistachios and chia seeds bulk up the drink nicely, and the pistachios contribute to the pale green color.

Tips:

  • Use fresh basil: Fresh basil will give your smoothie a bright, peppery flavor. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it will be less flavorful.
  • Add a little bit of honey or agave nectar: If your pineapple is not very sweet, you may want to add a little bit of honey or agave nectar to sweeten your smoothie.
  • Use unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk: Unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk will add a creamy texture to your smoothie without adding a lot of calories.
  • Add some protein powder: If you're looking for a more filling smoothie, you can add some protein powder. This will help you stay full and satisfied.
  • Top your smoothie with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds: To make your smoothie even more delicious and nutritious, top it with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds.

Conclusion:

Pineapple basil smoothies are a delicious and refreshing way to start your day or cool down on a hot afternoon. They're also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits, vegetables, and protein. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and healthy pineapple basil smoothie that the whole family will enjoy.
