Yum! This one has a pleasing balance of flavors--the lime stands out but doesn't mask the coconut (I used 1/4 cup almond milk with 1 tablespoon coconut cream, ginger (I used a 1/2-inch slice), or orange. I also put in one leaf of kale which didn't overpower and turned the smoothie spring green. The pumpkin seeds gave the blend a creamy texture. I got no taste from the turmeric, but I was happy to be consuming that healthy spice so early in the day.

Delicious! Even my 3 year old had some. Will make again. The tip for freezing coconut milk is great!

Delicious, healthy smoothie. The fresh pineapple is not overpowering when combined with the coconut and ginger. I included the core of the pineapple which is reportedly as healthy as the rest of the fruit. I doubled the pumpkin seeds which makes their addition noticeable in the flavor (okay by me), and increased the turmeric just a little. A very healthy concoction. 5 stars!

Very nice, ginger is top note, coconut v subtle. I added a handful of collard leaves for bonus health points.
