Name: Pineapple-Basil Smoothie
Total time: 2 min
Ingredients: 1/4 cup, tightly packed, basil leaves; 1/4 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into chunks (about 6 ounces); 3/4 cup plain kefir or yogurt; 1 teaspoon honey; 1 heaped tablespoon pistachios; 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds; 2 or 3 ice cubes

I’m not sure that I would order this just based on the name. But believe me, you’ll be pleased by this herbal concoction. Pineapple has so much sweetness and flavor on its own, and it marries well with the peppery, anisy basil. Very little else is required (no banana in this smoothie). I like to use kefir, but yogurt will work too. Pistachios and chia seeds bulk up the drink nicely, and the pistachios contribute to the pale green color.
