Vibrant Pineapple and Turmeric Detox Smoothie

This vibrant and refreshing pineapple and turmeric detox smoothie is the perfect way to start your day. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's naturally sweetened with pineapple and coconut milk. The turmeric gives it a warm, slightly spicy flavor, and the black pepper helps to boost the absorption of the turmeric's curcuminoids.

I first came across this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a healthy and delicious way to detox my body. I was immediately drawn to the vibrant color and the combination of pineapple and turmeric. I've been making it ever since, and it's become one of my favorite smoothies.
