Pineapple Mint Belly Soother Smoothie {Puritan’s Pride Giveaway!}

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Puritan’s Pride. As always, all opinions expressed are genuinely my own.

Hi friends!

You may or may not remember that last month I introduced a three-part seasonal smoothie series that I’ve teamed up with Puritan’s Pride for. Last month’s recipe theme was pumpkin (check out my chocolate chip pumpkin smoothie here!), and this month we’re focusing on cleansing, belly soother smoothies. With the holidays right around the corner (read: lots of dessert, booze, decadent food, and running around like a crazy person) I think that just about all of us could also use some cleansing recipes in our lives, am I right?!

Being that it’s mid-November and all, I know that many of you are living in places that are feeling pretty chilly (BRRR!), so today I’m going to provide you with a recipe that’s reminiscent of a warm and tropical place…. It’ll take your mind maybe to Mexico, or remind you of that week you spent lounging around in Maui, or perhaps it’ll make you daydream about a destination high up on your bucket list (for me that’s a place like Costa Rica).

Mint Pineapple Smoothie

Frozen pineapple offers a nice dose of Vitamin C and manganese and aids in digestion, plus it makes the smoothie creamy without needing the addition of ice…ya know, since it’s autumn and all and there’s no need to be shivering after a meal. Mint is an herb that adds what I find to be such a refreshing taste while also soothing your digestive system. Chia seeds are one of best sources of dietary fiber around, and then there’s psyllium husk seed…

Mint Pineapple Smoothie-2

…wait what?

Truth be told, I had no idea what psyllium husk seed was until Puritan’s Pride sent me a container of it. Rich in soluble fiber, psyllium husk comes from plantain plants and is known as a natural cure to get things moving in your digestion system, if you catch my drift. I was expecting the powder to be green for some reason, but it’s actually a yellowish color, a little bit sweet yet mild, and is a very pleasant and easy addition to smoothies to aid in digestive health.

Mint Pineapple Smoothie-3

The Puritan’s Pride protein powder I chose was their natural unflavored soy isolate. I’ve been experimenting more with plant-based protein powders instead of dairy-based ones, and you guys, I am a HUGE fan of this protein! It doesn’t taste like much of anything… and I mean that in the best way possible. I’ve been adding it to nearly all of my smoothies, pancake batters, and even on top of cereal for some added protein, and I barely even taste it at all. 1 scoop contains 110 calories and 24 g of protein, and the only ingredients are isolate soy protein and soy lecithin.   It’s kind of awesome!

    This smoothie sounds great! I’d love to try the protein powder. I’m always on the hunt for good proteins and when I’d tried soy ones before, I find that it has a weird taste. So I’d be curious to try this one!

    I can’t decide between the Kale Powder or the Psyllium Husk Seed! I haven’t heard of either but they both sound interesting (AND they are already on backorder)! You have motivated me to make a smoothie this afternoon so now I just need to remember to post it on Instagram. 🙂
