Ingredients
- 1/2 cup kombucha (I used lemon ginger flavor)
- 1/2 cup preferred milk
- 1 scoop protein powder, vanilla or unflavored
- 1/2 cup pineapple, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds
- 3 ice cubes (omit if using frozen pineapple)
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients into a blender, and blend until smooth. Use the larger cup if using a Nutri-bullet.
- Pour into one large glass or two smaller ones. Best if consumed immediately - also tastes best if it is cold! Add some ice cubes if using fresh pineapple.
Notes
- If using frozen pineapple, omit the ice cubes and blend first. Test the consistency and if you want a thicker smoothie - then add the ice cubes.
- Add additional ice cubes or put in the fridge for 10 minutes for best flavor. The kombucha does start to settle so it will need to be mixed after refrigeration.
- This smoothie can be easily customized. Add more protein powder and kombucha and divide into two smaller, high protein servings.
