Coconut Pineapple Pumpkin Seed Smoothie

I got the idea of making ice cubes with coconut milk from the nutritionist Jonny Bowden. You get the welcome coconut flavor, always compatible with pineapple, and the icy texture, but not so much coconut milk that the calories skyrocket.

Ingredients

• ¼ pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into chunks (about 7 ounces / 200 grams)
• ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 2 tablespoons soaked pumpkin seeds
• 1 slice ginger, peeled
• 1 teaspoon honey or agave nectar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 2 to 3 low-fat coconut milk ice cubes (1 1/2 tablespoons low-fat coconut milk per ice cube)
• Up to 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
