Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pineapple cut into 1" pieces
  • 1 medium banana sliced
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
  • 2 ounces spinach leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds

Instructions

  • In a blender, add the pineapple, banana, coconut milk, flax seeds, spinach, and chia seeds. Blend on high speed until completely smooth, or about 60 seconds.
  • Divide into 2 cups and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make-ahead instructions: To make ahead of time, pre-portion all of the ingredients besides the coconut milk into freezer bags and freeze for up to 1 month. Once you are ready to make your smoothie, just pull one of the bags, transfer to the blender, and add your milk.
  • Spinach substitution: kale or micro greens work too.
  • Coconut milk substitution: you can substitute regular milk, or almond milk.
