Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach packed tightly
- 1.5 cups frozen pineapple chunks provides a thick, frosty texture
- 1 large ripe banana sliced and frozen for extra creaminess
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk from a carton, or substitute with almond milk
- 0.5 cup orange juice freshly squeezed preferred
- 1 tbsp chia seeds optional for added fiber and omega-3s
- 0.5 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated for a zesty kick
- 1 tsp lime juice to brighten the tropical flavors
Notes
For the best texture, use frozen fruit instead of ice cubes to avoid diluting the flavor. To make this ahead of time, blend everything and pour into a silicone muffin tin to freeze; simply pop out the 'smoothie pucks' and re-blend with a splash of liquid when ready to drink. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours, though some separation is natural.
