makes one smoothie

2 cups of fresh pineapple
2tbsp of greek / coconut yoghurt
½ inch piece of ginger (peeled)
½ tbsp of ground flaxseed
big handful of ice
½ cup of water

make and do

- add the pineapple, yoghurt, ginger, flaxseed and the ice to a powerful blender / smoothie maker like the nutribullet
- add water gradually until you reach your own desired consistency and drink immediately

with a twist

- there is always room to play around with your smoothie ingredients. you could substitute the yoghurt for nut milk and add less water. I have used oats when I was feeling really peckish by making adjustments to the liquid quantity. Go easy, remembering you can always add more but cannot take it away!
