Instructions

Add the unsweetened coconut milk beverage and pure vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen pineapple chunks and chopped apple.
Add the ground ginger and fine sea salt.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
Check the consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional liquid if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use fresh or frozen ginger instead of ground ginger for a more pronounced ginger flavor. To make it creamier, add a spoonful of coconut yogurt.
