This Golden Pineapple Turmeric Smoothie is bright, creamy, refreshing, and just tropical enough to make you feel like you’re sitting under a palm tree on a warm beach—no matter what time of year it is.
And no, this is not to be confused with my insanely easy Golden Glow Turmeric Smoothie. This pineapple version is completely different, but every bit as good. It’s fresh, naturally sweet, and balanced enough to let turmeric do its thing without tasting like you’re drinking a wellness dare.
Another reminder that healthy really does taste delicious.

Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (I like Elmhurst Coconut Cashew)
1 cup frozen pineapple
1/2 small apple, cored, seeds removed, and quartered
1 small celery stalk, rough chopped
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric or 1/2 teaspoon fresh turmeric root
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (I juiced ½ a lemon)
1 teaspoon date paste
1/2 frozen banana
1 tablespoon hemp seeds
Tiny pinch of black pepper
Instructions
Add the plant-based milk to the blender first so everything blends more easily.
Add the frozen pineapple, apple, celery, ginger, turmeric, lemon juice, date paste, frozen banana, hemp seeds, and tiny pinch of black pepper.
lend until smooth and creamy. Add ice (a little at a time) to thicken this up if you want it thicker – more like a milkshake.
Pour into a glass and enjoy this effortless, delicious golden, refreshing smoothie.
CHEERS!
