Servings: 2
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ cups baby spinach or kale
- ⅔ cup milk or orange juice
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt
- 2 cups frozen pineapple
- 1 banana
- honey optional
Instructions
- Blend spinach, milk, and vanilla yogurt until smooth.
- Add pineapple, banana, and a drizzle of honey if using, and blend until thickened and creamy.
- If the mixture is too thick, add milk as needed.
Notes
- Add a drizzle of honey for some added sweetness.
- Milk can be replaced with a non-dairy milk.
- For a thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana or add a handful of ice cubes.
- Make an extra batch and freeze it in an ice cube tray.
- Short on time or ingredients? Just pop a cube or two into the blender with some milk, and it’s smoothie time with no peeling, cutting, or chopping!
- No fresh spinach on hand? Use frozen instead.
- 1 cup of fresh spinach is a small amount of frozen since it is so densely packed.
- Use no more than ¼ cup or approximately 1-2 cubes of frozen spinach with this recipe.
