Healthy Food Writer Niki Bezzant’s smoothie recipe. This is naturally sweet with calcium and fibre and perfect for an afternoon snack or breakfast on the run.
You will need:
1 cup Dole pineapple pieces
2 Dole bobby bananas
2cm piece of ginger, chopped (or use 2/4 tsp minced ginger)
1/3 cup natural yoghurt
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
Dash of vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Method:
Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Garnish with pineapple, mint leaves and coconut threads.
Tips:
– For a thicker, more slushy style version, freeze the pineapple and banana before adding to the smoothie.
– For a green vege boost, add a handful of spinach or kale
– For a lighter smoothie, use coconut water instead of coconut milk.
