Recipe: Pineapple Green Smoothie

pineapple green smoothie

When you think “healthy breakfast” … what’s one of the first foods that pops into your mind?

If it’s a green smoothie, you’re not alone! 

Smoothies can be a quick and easy option when you want something cool and refreshing … and I’ve got a spicy-sweet green smoothie recipe that I think you’ll love.

FROZEN GRAPE TIP: Wash and dry the grapes thoroughly then spread them out on a freezer-safe sheet pan. Put the pan in the freezer until the grapes are frozen (about an hour). Then you can transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag.

Freezing grapes separately can help stop them from freezing together. (I also love frozen grapes as a treat on a hot summer day)

Ingredients:

(Serves 1)

  • 1 cup (150 grams) chopped fresh or frozen pineapple

  • 1 cup (30 grams) packed chopped spinach 

  • 1 cup (95 grams) green grapes, frozen

  • Juice of ½ lemon

  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

  • 1 tsp ground flaxseed

  • 1-2 Tbsp your milk alternative, water, or coconut water, as needed

  • ½ scoop vanilla protein powder

Directions:

  1. Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Add liquid (milk alternative, water, or coconut water) as needed if the mixture is too thick.

  2. Pour into a glass and drink up!

Hope you enjoy this one!
