Select Ingredients
- Spinach - Baby spinach works great in this recipe. You could swap for kale but it may make it taste a bit more bitter.
- Pineapple - I prefer fresh or frozen pineapple in this recipe
- Almond milk - you can use any milk you'd like. Almond keeps the texture creamier and cow's or soy milk increases the protein content.
- Protein powder - I use a vanilla protein powder and the vanilla compliments the other flavors well.

➡️ Add chia or flax seeds - Adding a seed like chia or flax boosts the fiber and omega 3 content and is a great addition!

Recipe FAQs
Yes! Frozen pineapple works great and actually helps make the smoothie thicker and colder without needing ice. If you use fresh pineapple, you may want to add a few ice cubes for the same texture.
Not really. Spinach has a very mild flavor, and the sweetness of the pineapple easily masks it. It's a great way to add greens without affecting the taste.
Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few hours. Shake or stir well before drinking since ingredients may separate.
