The tanginess of lemon, the tropical sweetness of pineapple, and the nutritional powerhouse of chia seeds come together to create a delicious and nutritious smoothie.

Creamy lemon and pineapple & chia smoothie

This smoothie is not only delicious but also packs a nutritional punch. The chia seeds add a good amount of fibre and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health and digestion. The pineapple brings in a dose of vitamin C, which is great for the immune system, while the lemon juice adds a refreshing zing and helps with vitamin absorption. Coconut milk gives this smoothie a creamy texture and adds healthy fats that are good for brain health.

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 large lemon, juiced (about 30 ml of lemon juice)
250g of fresh pineapple chunks
2 tablespoons of chia seeds
200 ml of coconut milk (or almond milk for a lighter option)
1 tablespoon of honey or to taste (optional, for added sweetness)
A handful of ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)

Method

Prepare your ingredients: juice the lemon, chop the pineapple into chunks, and measure out your chia seeds and coconut milk.
In a blender, combine the lemon juice, pineapple chunks, chia seeds, and coconut milk. Add honey if you prefer a sweeter taste.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more coconut milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if needed.
For a cold smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender and blend until smooth.
Serve immediately in a tall glass and enjoy!
