Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 cups pineapple (peeled and sliced in strips)
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
  • 1 banana (frozen, cut in chunks)
  • 14 ounces full-fat coconut milk (Thai style)
  • 4 inches ginger root (peeled, sliced)
  • 1/4 cup flax seed meal
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cups spinach (optional)
  • chia seeds
  • toasted coconut flakes

Instruction

  • Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees and spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, toss together pineapple strips with oil and cayenne. Spread pineapple out in a single layer on baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through, or until golden brown and caramelized. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. 
  • Place caramelized pineapple, frozen banana, coconut milk, ginger, flax seed meal, nutmeg and spinach (if using) in a high speed blender and puree until smooth. You can add ice to make a thicker smoothie if you wish.
  • Divide mixture between four glasses and garnish with chia seeds and toasted coconut flakes if you wish.
