Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, washed
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled
  • 1/2 cup pineapple chunks, peeled and cut
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup almond milk

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (pre-soaked for 10 minutes recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and chop the ginger into small pieces. Peel the banana and cut the pineapple into chunks to make blending easier and ensure a smooth texture.
  2. Add items to the blender: Start by adding almond milk as the base liquid, then toss in the spinach, banana, pineapple, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, ginger, and your choice of honey or maple syrup.
  3. Blend until smooth: Blend on high speed for about 30 to 60 seconds or until the mixture is creamy and smooth with no spinach leaves remaining.
  4. Adjust thickness and sweetness: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk. Taste and add more honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter, then give it one last quick blend.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas and pineapple to maximize natural sweetness and reduce the need for extra sweeteners.
  • Pre-soak chia seeds for 10 minutes before blending to achieve a smoother texture and better nutrient absorption.
  • Blend greens and liquid first before adding fruit for a silkier consistency.
  • Add ice cubes for a refreshing cold smoothie at any time.
  • Portion ingredients into freezer bags for quick batch preparation.
  • For vegan options, replace Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives such as coconut or almond yogurt, and use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey.
  • Frozen banana and pineapple chunks can be used instead of fresh to chill the smoothie without needing ice.
