Description

This refreshing Vegan Lemon Pineapple Smoothie combines tropical frozen pineapple and mango with tangy lemon juice and zest, creamy Greek-style non-dairy yogurt, and a hint of warming turmeric. Blended to silky perfection with almond milk, this smoothie offers a vibrant, healthy treat perfect for a quick breakfast or energizing snack. Optional vanilla protein powder adds a protein boost making it ideal for post-workout nourishment or on-the-go meals.

Ingredients

Fruits and Flavorings

  • 1 cup frozen pineapple
  • 1/2 cup frozen mango
  • Juice and zest from 1 lemon

Dairy and Dairy Alternatives

  • 1/2 cup Greek-style yogurt (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (any kind of milk will work)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: Place the frozen pineapple, frozen mango, Greek-style yogurt, lemon juice and zest, vanilla protein powder (if using), and ground turmeric into the blender.
  2. Blend: Use a high-speed blender to blend all ingredients until completely smooth and creamy. This step ensures all the fruits and yogurt are fully combined and the turmeric is well distributed.
  3. Add Milk: Gradually add almond milk while blending to reach your desired consistency. The amount needed depends on your blender's power and how thick you prefer your smoothie.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste your smoothie and adjust the flavors as needed. You may choose to add more lemon juice for tartness, a bit more turmeric for warmth, or additional milk for a thinner texture.

Notes

  • Use frozen pineapple and mango to create a thick, chilled smoothie without needing ice.
  • The vanilla protein powder is optional but adds extra protein for a more filling smoothie.
  • Non-dairy Greek-style yogurt options (such as coconut or almond-based) keep this smoothie vegan.
  • Adjust turmeric amount based on your flavor preference; it adds a subtle earthiness and health benefits.
  • Almond milk can be substituted with any plant-based or dairy milk as preferred.
