What Is In The Tropical Pineapple Basil Smoothie From NutriBullet?

The NutriBullet Tropical Pineapple Basil smoothie ingredients are pineapple, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, basil, and ice.

Pineapples – Pineapples are popular tangy tropical fruit that, surprising to most, originated in South America, not Hawaii. They are absolutely loaded with antioxidants and nutrients, including a ridiculously high amount of vitamin C (1 serving = 131% of the recommended daily intake), manganese, vitamin B6, and thiamin. Pineapples also contain a significant amount of the digestive enzymes bromelain that can help fight pancreatic cancer.

Almond Milk – Almond milk is a popular nut-based milk replacement that is naturally lactose-free, dairy-free, and completely vegan. It has a surprisingly diverse set of nutrients, including significant amounts of vitamin D, vitamin E, and calcium. Almond milk is also a heart-healthy beverage for those interested in lowering their cholesterol. [Amazon]

Basil – Basil is a popular aromatic Asian herb with a slightly licorice flavor that offers a wide range of health benefits. It contains significant vitamin K and several beneficial plant compounds in the form of essential oils. Basil is known for reducing nausea, preventing age related memory loss, and reducing cholesterol and triglycerides. [Amazon]

NutriBullet Tropical Pineapple Basil Smoothie Recipe

Print

NutriBullet Tropical Pineapple Basil smoothie recipe tastes like a sweet and tangy, fresh from the garden milkshake. This recipe will show you how to make one.

Prep Time 2 minutes

Cook Time 1 minute

Total Time 1 minute

Ingredients

• 3 cups pineapples
• 1 cup vanilla almond milk, unsweetened
• 5 basil, leaves
• 1/2 cup ice
• 1 scoop Collagen Boost, optional

Instructions

1. Place pineapple, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, basil, and ice into a NutriBullet blender and secure the lid.
2. Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
3. Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
4. Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Notes

1. If you don't have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.
