Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup fresh kale leaves, stems removed
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, frozen
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Begin by washing the spinach and kale leaves thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water.
Peel the banana and break it into chunks for easier blending.
In a blender, combine the spinach leaves, kale leaves, banana chunks, and frozen pineapple chunks.
Add the unsweetened coconut water into the blender to help the ingredients combine smoothly.
Squeeze the juice from a fresh lime to obtain 1 tablespoon of juice, and add it to the blender.
Peel a small piece of fresh ginger and grate it finely to measure 1 teaspoon. Add the grated ginger to the blender.
Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the blender to keep the smoothie chilled and add thickness.
Secure the lid on the blender, and start blending on a low setting to break down the ingredients. Gradually increase the speed to high and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Once completely blended, taste the smoothie and adjust the flavor if needed. More lime juice can be added for extra tartness, or additional coconut water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses. Serve immediately to enjoy it at its freshest.
