Green Smoothie Recipe
Description
The Green Smoothie Recipe combines coconut milk as the base with ripe banana and a peeled orange to provide natural sweetness and citrus brightness. Fresh spinach adds a mild green vegetable note without overpowering the fruity flavors. Frozen pineapple contributes both chill and tropical sweetness, balancing the earthiness of the greens.
Blending the ingredients until smooth results in a creamy texture, while optional chia seeds can be included for extra fiber and a subtle gelatinous texture upon sitting. This beverage is easy to prepare by layering ingredients in a blender from liquid to solids.
This smoothie is suitable for sharing in two tall glasses and can serve as a refreshing start to the day or a nutritious snack that combines fruit and greens in one drink.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk or your milk of choice, unsweetened

- 1 1/2 cups pineapple frozen
- 2 tsp chia seeds optional
Instructions
- Place everything in a blender in the order listed, starting with the liquid and ending with the frozen fruit and chia seeds (if using).
