Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and washed thoroughly. Remove any stems from the spinach leaves.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks to help with blending. If using frozen banana, let it thaw slightly for easier processing.
- Measure out the blueberries and pineapple chunks. If using frozen fruits, allow them to soften for a minute at room temperature.
- Add the spinach leaves to the blender first. This helps create a smoother blend and ensures the leafy greens are well incorporated.
- Add the banana chunks, blueberries, and pineapple chunks on top of the spinach.
- Pour the almond milk over the fruits and spinach to help facilitate blending.
- Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no visible chunks.
- Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, then blend for an additional 15-20 seconds.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, optionally garnish with a few whole blueberries or a pineapple wedge.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and nutritional benefits. If not consuming right away, store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Tips
- Use frozen fruits to create a thicker, more chilled smoothie without watering it down with ice.
- For an extra nutritional boost, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a medjool date or a drizzle of honey.
- Always add leafy greens first in the blender to ensure they're thoroughly blended.
- For the creamiest texture, use ripe bananas – the more speckled, the better!
- Invest in a high-powered blender for the smoothest possible consistency.
- Rinse your blender immediately after use to prevent stubborn stains and make cleaning easier.
- Experiment with different milk alternatives like coconut milk or oat milk for varied flavors.
