freezing time 6 hours hrs
- 2 cups Fresh pineapple chunks
or
- 1½ cup Chopped pineapple core (cut into small pieces)
- 1 inch Fresh ginger, peeled and sliced (or 1 tsp grated)
- 1/2 tsp Ground turmeric or 1 tsp freshly grated turmeric root
- 1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup Water or coconut water (add more if needed for blending)
- 1-2 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
- Pinch of black pepper (optional but helps boost turmeric absorption)
Choose Your Pineapple Base:Use either fresh pineapple chunks for a sweeter, softer texture — or the pineapple core for a zero-waste, extra-bromelain boost. Chop the core into small pieces to help it blend smoothly. Blend Everything Together:In a high-speed blender, combine your pineapple base, ginger, turmeric, sweetener of choice, and water or coconut water. Add lemon juice and black pepper if using. Taste & Adjust:Blend until smooth. Taste and add more sweetener or lemon if needed. Optional Strain:If using the core and your blender leaves pulp, strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth for a smoother texture. Pour into Molds:Fill popsicle molds with the mixture. Leave a little room at the top for expansion. Insert sticks. Freeze:Freeze 6–8 hours, or overnight, until solid. Unmold & Enjoy:Run warm water over the outside of the molds to release. Refresh and recharge with every golden bite!
Tips & Add coconut milk for creaminess.Blend in a carrot or a splash of orange juice for color and vitamins. Use the core when making juice or smoothies, then freeze extras into pops.
