Pineapple-Basil Smoothie (pictured above)
While it might seem strange to add a savory herb to a smoothie, basil has a slight licorice note, and in small quantities it adds an exotic flavor.
SERVINGS: 2
1 c coconut milk
1 banana
1½ c frozen pineapple chunks
2 basil leaves, torn
⅛ tsp peeled and grated ginger, optional
ADD all of the ingredients to the blender, starting with the coconut milk. Cover and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
