I love pineapple smoothies. In this one I use carrot juice for the liquid and it works beautifully, as it's neither too sweet nor too acidic.

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/4 ripe pineapple, cored, skinned and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 heaped cup, or/ 7 ounces)
1 tablespoon soaked chia seeds (1 teaspoon dry unsoaked)
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds, soaked overnight in water and drained
1/2 cup carrot juice
1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley leaves, firmly packed
4 to 5 fresh mint leaves
Ice cubes

Steps:

To soak the chia seeds, place in a jar or bowl and add 4 tablespoons water for every tablespoon of chia seeds. Place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. The seeds and water will be become gelatinous.
Scoop up a tablespoon of seeds with the gooey liquid and place in a blender (don't worry, your smoothie won't have this consistency). Add the remaining ingredients and blend for 1 full minute at high speed.

Tips:

For a creamier smoothie, use frozen pineapple chunks instead of fresh.
If you don't have chia seeds, you can substitute ground flaxseed or hemp seeds.
Add a scoop of protein powder to the smoothie for an extra boost of nutrition.
If you like your smoothie sweeter, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
For a more tart smoothie, add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.
Garnish the smoothie with a pineapple wedge or chia seeds for a pop of color.

Conclusion:

The chia pineapple smoothie is a delicious and refreshing way to start your day. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's also a good source of fiber and protein. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast or a healthy snack, this smoothie is a great option.
