Sweet, tangy pineapple with a spicy ginger kick and a warm hint of cinnamon.
Pineapple and ginger are a classic pairing in tropical cooking: the sweet, tart fruit and the sharp, spicy root balance each other well. Fresh ginger is much more aromatic than the dried powder, so a thin slice is enough for one glass.
Cinnamon is an unusual but good addition here, giving the fruity drink a warm, slightly wintry note. Half a banana makes it creamier. The smoothie is vegan and works especially well on cooler days, when you want something fruity that still feels warming.
Yes, a small pinch works, but fresh ginger tastes brighter and fresher.
Yes, it contains only fruit, spices and water.
Slightly; the ginger gives a gentle heat that you can adjust with the amount.
