Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (300g) frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 medium (120g) ripe banana
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened coconut milk beverage
  • 1 inch (5g) fresh turmeric root, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 inch (3g) fresh ginger root, peeled
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon (10g) chia seeds

Instructions:

  1. Peel the 1 inch of turmeric and 1/2 inch of ginger using the edge of a spoon.
  2. Use your microplane to grate both roots directly into the blender. Grate until you have a fine paste.
  3. Pour in the 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk beverage first.
  4. Add the 120g ripe banana (broken into chunks) and the 300g frozen pineapple.
  5. Drop in the pinch of black pepper and the 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.
  6. Turn the blender on its lowest setting for 10 seconds until the fruit starts to break down.
  7. Ramp up the speed to the maximum setting. Blend for 45-60 seconds until the color is a uniform, glowing yellow.
  8. Stop the blender and stir with a spatula. Look for a velvety, ripple free surface.
  9. If you see any black dots from the chia seeds that haven't been broken down, give it one more 10 second blast.
  10. Transfer immediately to a tall glass. Serve while the texture is still firm and frosty.
