Pineapple, Ginger and Cinnamon Smoothie
Sweet and tropical, creamy from the banana, with a warming ginger kick and a soft cinnamon finish.
Pineapple brings juicy sweetness and a bright acidity, and it contains the enzyme bromelain, which is why fresh pineapple can taste slightly prickly on the tongue. Banana and apple add body and a rounder sweetness. Ginger and cinnamon turn the drink into something unusual: fruity at first, then pleasantly warm and spiced.
The combination works in every season, but it feels especially good on cool mornings. It is also a nice alternative to hot drinks for people who like spiced flavours.
Yes, choose pineapple in juice and drain it. The smoothie will be a little sweeter.
Gently warming; use more ginger if you like a stronger kick.
Yes, if you sweeten with agave syrup instead of honey.
