I first stumbled upon this vibrant elixir during a hot summer morning when I wanted something refreshing yet nourishing.
It’s become a staple in my kitchen because it’s not only packed with goodness but also a little reminder to embrace the sunshine in my life.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh pineapple because it adds such a bright, juicy flavor. If you can’t find fresh, frozen works in a pinch, but it will be a bit thicker. The black pepper may seem odd, but trust me—it enhances the turmeric's benefits significantly!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep a batch of fresh ginger in my freezer; it grates beautifully when frozen!
- •If you want an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy twist.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll swap coconut water for almond milk for a creamier texture.
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I add a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient boost without changing the flavor.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Just remember, the flavors will intensify, so a little shake before drinking is key!
