In honor of our June Body Issue (starring Kerry Washington), we tapped Alexia Brue and Melisse Gelula, the founders of WellandGoodNYC.com, to bring us their fitness and nutrition expertise. Today&amp;#039;s installment: a skin-brightening tropical fruit smoothie recipe.  This spicy-sweet smoothie is like sunshine in a glass. Well+Good&amp;#039;s resident smoothie mixologist Jennifer Cass describes her dynamically layered creation as tasting somewhere between a pina colada and a tonic you might sip at a Balinese spa. Here&amp;#039;s why we&amp;#039;ll be drinking the warm weather-perfect all summer long:   Pineapple is a favorite juice-cleanse ingredient for its detoxing enzyme bromelain, which aids in digestion. Turmeric has become a trendy ingredient, and not just in curry. More than 20 studies on its anti-inflammatory benefits say it can help with issues like psoriasis, and even shedding a few pounds. Ginger gives you circulation-boosting buzz, just in time to revive you from a heat-induced, mid-afternoon slump. Coconut water adds electrolytes for an extra punch of hydration and a hint of sweetness. To make the tropical-healthy beverage, just throw the following ingredients into a mixer, blend, and enjoy! 1 cup frozen pineapple 1 cup coconut water 1 inch fresh ginger 1/4 tsp turmeric Top with a squeeze of lime "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
