Ingredients

1 cup fresh spinach (or kale for a stronger green flavor)
1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen for a tropical sweetness)
1 banana (adds creaminess and natural sweetness)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or substitute with coconut water or oat milk)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added fiber and omega-3s)
½ lemon, juiced (optional, to enhance freshness)
Ice cubes (optional, for a colder, thicker smoothie)

Instructions

Add liquid first – Pour the unsweetened almond milk (or preferred liquid) into the blender.
Blend the greens – Add the fresh spinach and blend with the liquid to avoid leafy chunks.
Add fruits and extras – Toss in the pineapple, banana, and any optional ingredients like chia seeds or lemon juice.
Blend until smooth – Mix on high for 30–60 seconds until creamy and well combined.
Adjust consistency – If too thick, add a bit more liquid. If too thin, add ice cubes and blend again.
Serve immediately – Pour into a glass and enjoy fresh!
