Description
A vibrant, tropical-tasting smoothie made from sweet pineapple, tender spinach, and banana, perfect for a quick breakfast or post-workout refuel.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup spinach (packed; baby spinach works best)
- 1 banana (ripe; frozen for extra creaminess)
- 1 cup coconut water or almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the liquid (coconut water or almond milk) into the blender first.
- Add the spinach on top of the liquid.
- Add pineapple chunks and the banana. If using frozen fruit, add a little less ice.
- Sprinkle in the chia seeds, if using.
- Secure the lid and blend on high for 30–60 seconds.
- Check texture. If it’s too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of liquid and blend again.
- Pour into a glass and drink immediately.
