Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen diced pineapple
- 1 medium cucumber sliced
- 1 cup chopped baby spinach and kale mix
- 1 banana peeled and sliced
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 lime juiced
- 3 fresh mint leaves
- ¼ cup chilled water optional
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a high speed blender.
- Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Adjust thickness by adding water if needed.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a thicker, creamier smoothie use frozen banana and canned light coconut milk instead of boxed coconut milk.
- Adjust sweetness to suit your taste. Honey or maple syrup can be added however the smoothie is quite sweet from the natural sweetness of the fruit.
- Smoothie is best served immediately however leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Smoothie will need to be stirred well before serving.
- If using fresh pineapple add some ice cubes to the smoothie before blending.
- Coconut milk can be substituted with other plant based milk if preferred.
- Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for additional protein.
- Chia seeds can be substituted with flax seeds or hulled hemp seeds.
