Pineapple-Ginger Smoothie

Name: Pineapple-Ginger Smoothie
Prep time: 6 min
Total time: 6 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 2 cups frozen unsweetened pineapple (partially thawed); 1 orange (peeled and quartered); 1- inch piece of fresh ginger (peeled and chopped); 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 large lemon); ½ cup ice Dash of cayenne (optional)

The next time you buy a pineapple, peel and cube any leftovers and store them in the freezer. You can puree the frozen chunks just as is to make an instant, additive-free sorbet, or use them in this not-too-sweet smoothie. To partially thaw the pineapple chunks, microwave on high for 20 to 30 seconds.
