Ingredients

1 ripe banana

½ ripe avocado

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks

1 generous handful of fresh spinach leaves

1 to 1¼ cups unsweetened almond milk (adjust for thickness)

Optional:

1 tsp honey or maple syrup

A few ice cubes

1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flaxseed

Instructions

Prep the ingredients:
Peel the banana, scoop out the avocado, and measure your spinach and pineapple.

Blend the greens first:
Add the spinach and almond milk to the blender. Blend until smooth—this helps avoid leafy bits.

Add fruits and avocado:
Toss in the banana, pineapple, and avocado. Blend again until creamy.

Adjust texture:
If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add ice or more fruit. For a lighter consistency, pour in a bit more almond milk.

Taste and sweeten:
Add honey or maple syrup only if needed. Blend once more and serve immediately.

Serving and Storage Tips

Best served fresh:
The smoothie tastes brightest and retains the most nutrients right after blending.

If storing:
Refrigerate in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.

For meal prep:
Freeze the cut banana, avocado, pineapple, and spinach in single-serve bags. Blend straight from frozen with almond milk when ready.
