Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
- 1 handful baby spinach
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 5 small leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries, baby spinach, and mint leaves thoroughly under cold water.
Peel the banana and cut it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
If using fresh pineapple, remove the skin and core, then cut into chunks. If using frozen pineapple, no preparation is needed.
Add the strawberries, banana pieces, pineapple chunks, baby spinach, almond milk, mint leaves, and chia seeds to a blender.
Add the ice cubes to the blender for an extra chilled and refreshing texture.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are evenly blended.
Taste test the smoothie and adjust the consistency by adding a little more almond milk if it's too thick.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses, garnish with an extra mint leaf if desired, and serve immediately.
