Ingredients

Scale

Pineapple Smoothie Base

  • 3 cups pineapple, frozen
  • 1 ¼ cup dairy-free milk (such as cartoned coconut milk, add more if needed)
  • 2 fresh soft pears, cored and peeled or not, about 1 cup chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon celery seeds

Pink Layer

  • ½ cup pineapple smoothie
  • ¼ cup raspberries

Yellow Layer

  • ¼ cup pineapple smoothie
  • Pinch turmeric powder

Toppings (Optional)

  • Fresh coconut yogurt
  • Shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pineapple Smoothie Base: Blend the frozen pineapple, dairy-free milk, soft pears, lemon juice, and celery seeds together until the mixture is frosty smooth.
  2. Make Pink Layer: Take about ½ cup of the pineapple smoothie and blend or muddle it together with raspberries to achieve a bright pink color and fruity flavor.
  3. Make Yellow Layer: Remove ¼ cup of the pineapple smoothie and stir in a pinch of turmeric powder to create a vibrant yellow layer.
  4. Layer the Smoothie: Pour the yellow layer into the serving glass first, followed by the plain and pink smoothie layers to create a beautiful, colorful layered effect.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh coconut yogurt and shredded coconut for a tropical flair, then serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use cartoned coconut milk found in the dairy section for the best tropical flavor, as canned coconut milk can be overpowering.
  • Sweeten the smoothie naturally with soft pears; avoid using hard, green pears.
  • Alternative sweeteners include banana or 1 cup of green grapes.
  • Turmeric powder adds color and a subtle earthiness, use sparingly to avoid altering the taste too much.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the layered colors and fresh flavors.
