Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 medium frozen banana, sliced
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (carton)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Peel your medium banana and slice it into 1 inch rounds before freezing. Note: Whole frozen bananas can break cheap blender blades.
  2. Pour 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk into the blender first. Note: Adding liquid first prevents the air pocket stall where the blades spin and nothing moves.
  3. Toss in 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and that crucial pinch of black pepper.
  4. Squeeze in 1 tablespoon lemon juice directly over the spices.
  5. Add the 1.5 cups frozen pineapple and the sliced frozen banana on top of the liquid.
  6. Ensure the seal is tight to avoid a golden yellow kitchen repaint.
  7. Hit the pulse button 5 times until the fruit pieces shatter into smaller bits.
  8. Run the blender for 30-45 seconds until the mixture looks velvety and swirl free.
  9. If it's too thick, add a splash more coconut milk and pulse again.
  10. Transfer to a chilled glass immediately while the frost is still visible.
