Instructions
- You can start by soaking almonds overnight to activate the enzymes and increase the nutrient's availability.
- Add all ingredients to a mixer (a high-speed mixer will give you the best results). Blend all the ingredients until you get a smooth consistency. Use frozen pineapple for a refreshing result, or blend in some ice cubes. Adapt the amount of water to get the desired consistency.

Recommendations for doshas
Row pineapple has a balancing effect on Vata and Pitta.
Vata: drink it at room temperature and add some fresh ginger.
Kapha: raw pineapple increases Kapha energy. An alternative is to use pineapple compote, which is more balancing for Kapha. Greens have a positive effect, which will balance the smoothie and make it overall beneficial for Kapha as well.
