Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup kale leaves
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Start by washing the fresh spinach and kale leaves thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Shake off excess water or use a salad spinner to dry if available.
Peel the banana and break it into chunks for easy blending.
Add the spinach, kale, banana, pineapple chunks, coconut milk, lime juice, grated ginger, chia seeds, and ice cubes into a high-speed blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Once the smoothie is well-blended and creamy, taste and adjust ginger or lime juice to taste if desired.
Pour the smoothie into two tall glasses and serve immediately to enjoy the maximum freshness and nutritional benefits.
Optional: Garnish with a slice of lime or a small sprig of mint for a touch of aromatic freshness.
