Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Here’s more you should know about enhancing and enjoying your Detox Smoothie:

All fruits are very detoxifying, so feel free to change the ingredients if you want. Coconut water is also a great choice or even orange juice, you can use them instead of the water, your smoothie will taste better and also will be more nutritious.

You can also add leafy greens or celery to make it even more detoxifying.

If you use organic cucumbers, you don’t need to peel them. I use a non organic cucumber, that’s why my smoothie is yellow.

Turmeric is the new wonder-child of the health world, in case you haven’t heard. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which is great news for anyone suffering from arthritis or Crohn’s, or anyone who is recovering from surgery. In order to activate the turmeric, I added a pinch of pepper, but I promise you can’t taste it!

In addition, kale and pineapple both have anti-inflammatory properties. So basically this smoothie is an anti-inflammatory powerhouse.

Here are the recommended healthy ingredients to make one of these special Pineapple Turmeric Smoothies:

1¼ cups almond milk
1 cup (packed) kale or spinach
¼ teaspoon turmeric
pinch of black pepper
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1½ cups frozen pineapple chunks

The preparation steps are simple:

1. Combine the first 5 ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

2. Add the pineapple chunks and blend again until completely smooth.

First: coconut milk. I use a full-fat coconut milk for this smoothie, which makes it super thick and decadent. I realize many people rely on smoothies for low-calorie or low-fat meal options, and while I think this recipe is incredibly healthy (and delicious), it’s not low-calorie or low-fat. If you’re looking for a lighter option, use light coconut milk or even coconut water instead. Both will work beautifully — they just won’t result in as creamy and decadent of a smoothie.

The second ingredient that’s worth taking a moment to discuss is the chia seed. … In short, chia seeds are little nutrition powerhouses, super rich in fiber and protein, and while that’s all fine and good, I love how they thicken the smoothie and help me to stay full longer.
