Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh spinach packed
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 small ripe banana fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut water
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds optional, for extra fiber
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup optional, to taste

Method
 

  1. Add the spinach, frozen pineapple, banana, almond milk, lime juice, and ginger to a high-speed blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if necessary, then blend for another 10 seconds.
  4. Taste the smoothie and add honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter, blending briefly to combine.
  5. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass, sprinkle with chia seeds if using, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker consistency, use frozen banana instead of fresh.
  • Swap almond milk for coconut milk for a richer, tropical flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh ginger, use ¼ tsp of ground ginger powder.
  • Drink immediately for the best taste; this smoothie oxidizes and separates if stored too long.
