Notes
- Unflavored and unsweetened almond milk is best for this smoothie because it lets the pineapple-ginger flavor shine. You can also use unflavored oat milk or soy milk.
- Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. Remove the peel with a spoon or peeler, then mince or finely chop into small pieces.
- Skip the date syrup if you prefer less sweet smoothies.
- Add a splash of almond milk if your smoothie is too thick, then blend for 10 seconds to combine.
- Store leftover smoothie in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. The ingredients will probably separate, so be sure to stir it before drinking.
