Ingredients

Fruits and Vegetables

  • ½ cup frozen pineapple
  • 2 cups packed fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen spinach)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 frozen banana

Liquids and Others

  • ¾ cup light coconut milk (canned or from a carton)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 8 ice cubes
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: Place the frozen pineapple, spinach, ripe avocado, frozen banana, light coconut milk, fresh lime juice, lime zest, maple syrup, sea salt, ice cubes, and vanilla protein powder (if using) into a blender.
  2. Blend until creamy: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy with no chunks remaining.
  3. Adjust the taste and consistency: Taste the smoothie and add more maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. If the smoothie is too thick, add additional coconut milk a little at a time and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.

Notes

  • You can substitute frozen spinach for fresh spinach to keep the smoothie cold and chilled.
  • The protein powder is optional and can be omitted if preferred.
  • Use ripe avocado for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the level of sweetness and tartness by varying the maple syrup and lime juice quantities according to your taste.
  • This smoothie is best served immediately after blending for freshness.
