Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh spinach or kale (or a mix of both)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or plant-based alternative
- 1/2 cup coconut water or almond milk
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds for added fiber
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- Ice cubes (as needed for desired consistency)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and measure out the necessary quantities. Optionally, add a splash of fresh lemon juice or mint leaves for extra flavor.
- Place the greens into your blender, then pour in the coconut water or almond milk. Blend until smooth to create a consistent base.
- Add the banana, frozen pineapple, chia seeds, and honey. Blend until well combined and creamy.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add more coconut water or almond milk and blend briefly. For a colder, frosty drink, add ice cubes and blend until icy and smooth.
Notes
- To store leftovers, keep the smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking.
- For quick freezing, pour portions into ice cube trays and blend when needed for optimal freshness.
- Enhance flavor with additional ingredients like lemon juice, mint, or superfoods.
