Notes
- Fresh vs. frozen ingredients: It’s possible to use frozen greens for this green pineapple smoothie, too. Alternatively, omit all frozen ingredients. It won’t be as thick and dessert-like but is still creamy and delicious.
- Remove kale stems: They’re highly fibrous and can add an unpleasant texture to the pineapple detox smoothie.
- Adjust the consistency: Add more plant-based milk or juice for a thinner smoothie. For a thicker one, add some ice cubes.
- For the best blend: Add any liquids and soft ingredients to the blender first and any harder/frozen ingredients last.
