Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Smoothie
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of fresh spinach, 1/2 cup of frozen pineapple, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and 1 tablespoon of honey.
- Rinse the spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Shake off excess water or use a salad spinner to dry the leaves.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces to make it easier to blend. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, you can use a ripe banana.
- In a blender, combine the rinsed spinach, frozen pineapple, banana pieces, almond milk, chia seeds, and honey.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds.
- Check the consistency of the smoothie. If it’s too thick for your liking, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more honey, blending again to combine.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and, if desired, garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a slice of banana on the rim for an extra touch.
- Enjoy your refreshing Energy Lift Tropical Green Smoothie immediately for the best flavor and texture!
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and nutrition, opt for fresh spinach and ripe bananas. The riper the banana, the sweeter your smoothie will be!
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, feel free to adjust the amount of honey to suit your taste, or try adding a medjool date for a natural sweetener.
- Blend for Perfection: Make sure to blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. If you find it too thick, simply add a splash more almond milk and blend again.
- Add Extra Nutrition: Want to boost the nutritional value even more? Consider tossing in a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter for added creaminess and protein.
- Garnish for Presentation: Elevate your smoothie experience by garnishing with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a slice of banana on the rim of your glass. It not only looks great but adds a little extra crunch!
- Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, enjoy your smoothie right after blending. This ensures you get all the vibrant flavors and nutrients at their peak!
