Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves packed
  • 1 ½ cups coconut milk or coconut water for a lighter version
  • 1 large ripe banana frozen for best texture
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional, for thickness
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional, to taste
  • Ice cubes optional, if not using frozen fruit

Method
 

  1. Place the fresh spinach and coconut milk into the blender first (this helps the greens blend smoothly).
  2. Add the frozen banana, frozen pineapple, and chia seeds on top.
  3. Blend on high speed for 45 to 60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Taste the mixture and add honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
  5. Add a few ice cubes and blend again for 10 seconds if you want a colder, slushier consistency.
  6. Pour into two glasses and serve immediately for the best flavor.

Notes

  • Use frozen fruit to avoid watering down the smoothie with ice.
  • If you don't have coconut milk, plain Greek yogurt or oat milk works well as a substitute.
  • For a protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder.
  • This smoothie is best consumed fresh; it will separate if stored for too long.
