Description

A sweet and creamy green smoothie, with all the flavors of the tropics along with a good dose of superfoods thrown in as well!

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks

1 ripe banana, peeled and cut into chunks

1 cup frozen mango cubes

1–2 cups liquid, coconut milk, a peeled orange, or coconut water, see notes

4 cups baby spinach, start with less if you’re new to green smoothies

1 Teaspoon vanilla extract

Superfood extras:

3–4 Tablespoons flax meal or chia seeds

2 servings Hawaiian spirulina

2 servings protein powder or collagen

Instructions

Place all the ingredients into the blender in the order listed. If you’re using any of the superfoods/extras, place them into the blender before you add the greens.

Secure the lid and blend until smooth.

Serve immediately for best flavor, or refrigerate and drink within half a day.

Notes

Add more or less liquid depending on how thick you like your smoothie. I usually add 1 cup of coconut milk from the can along with 1/2 of a peeled orange.

The nutritional information has been calculated with the liquid combination I described above and with 4 Tablespoons chia seeds, and 2 teaspoons spirulina.
