- 1.5 cup fresh pineapple chunks (frozen) core removed
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any low-fat milk
- 0.5 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt

Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed immediately. Leftovers can be stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake or stir well before drinking as separation may occur. Make-Ahead: Pre-portion all the solid ingredients (pineapple, spinach, ginger) into freezer bags for quick blending. Substitutions: Almond milk can be swapped for coconut water for fewer calories or oat milk for creaminess. Spinach can be replaced with kale. Add a scoop of unflavored protein powder for an extra protein boost. Serving: Garnish with a thin pineapple slice or a sprinkle of chia seeds.
