Ingredients
  

  • 1 large orange peeled and pith removed
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 ripe banana fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric powder
  • 1 1/2 cups almond milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut water
  • 1 scoop collagen optional
  • 1 cup ice

Instructions
 

  • Zest 1 tablespoon of orange and place it in a blender.
  • Remove the skin and pith of the orange, discard, and add the flesh to the blender.
  • Add the banana, frozen pineapple, turmeric, almond milk, coconut water, collagen (if using), and ice to the blender.
  • Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add more ice or frozen pineapple if needed for thickness.
  • Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

Cooking Tips:

  • Blender Power: Use a high-speed blender for the creamiest texture. If using a regular blender, blend liquids and greens first, then add frozen ingredients gradually.
  • Frozen Fruit: Using frozen fruit eliminates the need for extra ice and keeps the smoothie thick and frosty.
  • Layering Ingredients: Add liquids first, then frozen fruits, and finally powders or supplements to ensure even blending.

Ingredient Substitutions:

  • Milk Alternatives: Swap almond milk for oat milk, coconut milk, or regular dairy milk.
  • Banana Replacement: If you’re out of bananas, use avocado for creaminess or skip it entirely.
  • Collagen: If you don’t have collagen, add a scoop of unflavored protein powder or 1-2 tbsp of chia seeds for a plant-based protein boost.
  • Turmeric: Fresh turmeric root can be used instead of powder. Use about 1 inch, peeled and grated.

Additional Advice:

  • Sweetness Adjustment: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
  • Greens Boost: Toss in a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients without altering the flavor.
  • Toppings: Garnish with fresh pineapple chunks, orange zest, or toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
  • Storage: This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking.

Pro Tip:

A thick Pineapple Orange Sunrise Smoothie bowl topped with granola and fresh fruit.
For a thicker smoothie bowl consistency, reduce the liquid by 1/4 cup and serve in a bowl topped with granola, fresh fruit, and a drizzle of honey.
