A refreshing and nutritious Spinach and Pineapple Smoothie combining the natural sweetness of pineapple with the vibrant freshness of spinach, blended with apple juice, coconut yoghurt, and a hint of lime for a tangy twist. Perfect for a quick breakfast or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

Liquids

  • ½ cup apple juice
  • ½ cup water
  • juice of ½ lime (or lemon)

Produce

  • 2 cups baby spinach (packed, washed)
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple

Dairy & Alternatives

  • 3 tbsp natural yoghurt (coconut yoghurt preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure the baby spinach is thoroughly washed to remove any grit or dirt for a clean and fresh smoothie base.
  2. Add Liquids First: Pour the apple juice and water into the blender first to allow for easier blending and prevent the motor from straining.
  3. Add Solid Ingredients: Add the packed baby spinach, frozen pineapple, and natural coconut yoghurt on top of the liquids in the blender.
  4. Blend Smooth: Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed until all ingredients are fully combined into a smooth, creamy texture without any chunks.
  5. Finish with Lime Juice: Add the juice of half a lime or lemon to the blender and give it a final pulse or brief blend to incorporate the fresh citrus flavor evenly.
  6. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use frozen pineapple to achieve a chilled smoothie without needing additional ice, which could water down the flavor.
  • Coconut yoghurt adds a subtle tropical flavor and is a great non-dairy alternative to traditional yoghurt.
  • Adjust lime juice amount to taste for desired tartness.
  • This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking if stored.
  • For added protein, consider adding a scoop of plant-based protein powder.
