Blend ingredients for the pineapple smoothie.
Make a portion of it pink. Either muddle some raspberries or blend them into about ½ cup worth of the pineapple smoothie.
½ cup pineapple smoothie, ¼ cup raspberries
Make a small portion brighter yellow. For a more vibrant yellow, remove a quarter cup of original smoothie, and stir in a pinch of turmeric powder.
¼ cup pineapple smoothie, pinch turmeric powder
Serve the smoothie by layering one on the other. I topped mine with some fresh coconut yogurt and shredded coconut for a tropical feel.

Notes
*UsingCoconut milk. Any dairy free milk works, but cartoned coconut milk pairs especially well with pineapple for a tropical feel. I recommend the coconut milk found in the dairy section of your grocer. Canned coconut milk works but might be over powering for this smoothie.Sweeten with fruits. I used pears to sweeten. Look for soft pears, and don't peel. Don't use pears that are hard and green. You can also use a banana or 1 cup of green grapes instead.
