Basil Pineapple Ginger Smoothie

Jump to Recipe

This basil pineapple ginger smoothie is zesty and invigorating, perfect when you need a little energizing pick me up without the caffeine.

Smoothies have always been my weakness. Even in the dead of winter, you can find me sipping a smoothie for breakfast, wrapped in blankets? Why? Because I absolutely love them and don't care how cold I will be.

And also think it is a wonderful way to get many foods you may not otherwise eat into your diet (i.e. not likely to eat a ½ cup of basil for fun - but that's just me).

I also find smoothies to be versatile and very forgiving. This recipe is one that's perfect for the warmer weather (but if you're like me, mid-winter is acceptable too).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Use Frozen Pineapple

Absolutely! If you don't have fresh or prefer your smoothie extra thick, I recommend using frozen pineapple.

Can You Substitute Spinach or Mint For Basil

If you don't have basil, you can substitute spinach if you want your smoothie milder, or mint, if you want to give your smoothie a little extra kick.

What Is The Best Plant Milk To Use?

I like using almond milk or flax milk in my smoothies, but whatever you are used to and works for your taste is best.
