Pineapple Basil Smoothie
by Tarla Dalal
Touched by the herby notes of basil and sweetened lightly with honey, pineapple gives us a really awesome smoothie that is sure to be enjoyed by people of all ages. A pinch of salt is essential to balance the tartness of pineapple and highlight its sweetness instead.
This amazing Pineapple Basil Smoothie has the refreshing flavour of pineapple, which seems to taste even better when flavoured with basil. You can garnish this drink with pistachios because the contrasting colour makes the smoothie even more tempting!
If you love pineapples, then you must try out other options like the Peach Pineapple Smoothie and the Mango and Pineapple Smoothie too.
