Method
 

  1. Prep – Peel and grate your fresh turmeric and fresh ginger; slice your fresh banana and fresh pineapple.
  2. Build – In the blender, layer frozen pineapple, frozen banana, grated turmeric, grated ginger, lemon kefir, and your choice of dairy‑free milk.
  3. Blend – Start on low speed, then ramp to high‑speed; blend for about 30 seconds until creamy, luscious, and smooth.
  4. Adjust – Taste the mixture; if it’s too thick, add more kefir or milk. If too thin, add extra pineapple chunks, frozen banana, or a handful of ice.
  5. Serve – Pour into glasses or mason jars. Garnish with mint leaves, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a dusting of ground turmeric.

Notes

Use ripe pineapple for natural sweetness. Turmeric adds golden color and anti-inflammatory power, don’t skip it! A pinch of black pepper helps absorb turmeric better. Use plain kefir for a creamy, probiotic-rich base. Add a date or honey if you want it sweeter. Blend thick or thin to your liking. Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking!
