Pineapple Ginger Turmeric Protein Smoothie

January 19, 2016 by Jenna

I’m on a major breakfast smoothie kick right now and am obsessed with drinking this pineapple ginger turmeric protein smoothie for my morning meal.

Pineapple Ginger Turmeric Protein Smoothie

The great thing about smoothies is that you can load up your blender with so many healthy, delicious things, then in 30 seconds you have a tasty breakfast that keeps you full and energized until lunch.

I love experimenting with different flavor combinations and came across one that I needed to share with you -> pineapple + ginger + turmeric.

It’s kind of amazing.

Not only is this pineapple ginger turmeric protein smoothie extremely delicious, it is also packed with so many health benefits.

Let’s review.

  • Pineapples are filled with bromelain, which helps with inflammation and digestion, but it is also a strong source of vitamin C to help keep your immune system strong.
  • Ginger and turmeric are both fantastic anti-inflammatory agents.
  • Bananas are full of potassium and give the smoothie a creamy texture.
  • Chia seeds are tiny magical things packed with protein, fiber, omega-3’s, antioxidants, calcium, and manganese.
  • Protein powder gives us that extra dose of protein to keep you full throughout the morning.
  • Almond milk is a great dairy alternative that is filled with vitamins and minerals.

I realize that a cold smoothie might not be what you want on a chilly January morning, but pair it with a mug of hot coffee and you’ll be alright. Plus, it’s so healthy and delicious that the extra chills are totally worth it.

    […] Smoothies are great, but it’s ok to eat baked goods in January too, like these bars: unicorn bars, dark chocolate fig oatmeal bars, frosted graham cracker bars, nutty blondies, and oatmeal raisin cookie bars. […]
