Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 medium frozen banana
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or any nut-free plant-based milk)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the baby spinach thoroughly under cold running water and shake off excess moisture.
Peel the banana if frozen with the peel still intact.
Gather all ingredients and add them to a high-powered blender: baby spinach, frozen banana, unsweetened coconut milk, pineapple chunks, chia seeds, and optionally maple syrup for sweetness.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the blender if needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is crushed and the smoothie reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a touch more maple syrup. Blend briefly to mix if adding more.
Pour the smoothie into two serving glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy!
