Print Recipe

A refreshing and nutritious spinach pineapple smoothie packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, or post-workout boost!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, tightly packed
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 frozen banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional, for added protein and creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added fiber and omega-3s)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional, for a little zing)
  • A few ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Make sure you have all ingredients on hand.
  2. Prepare the Spinach: Rinse the spinach under cold water.
  3. Combine Ingredients in the Blender: Add almond milk to the blender first, then spinach, frozen pineapple chunks, and frozen banana slices. Add Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, and ginger, if using.
  4. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend on low speed, gradually increasing to high speed. Blend until completely smooth and creamy (1-2 minutes). If too thick, add more almond milk (1 tablespoon at a time). If not cold enough, add ice cubes and blend again.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Taste and add more honey/maple syrup for sweetness or ginger for a stronger flavor, as needed.
  6. Pour and Enjoy: Pour into a glass or travel mug and enjoy! Garnish with pineapple or chia seeds if desired.
