Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Plant-Based: A yummy way to add more fruits and veggies to your diet.
- Weight loss friendly: A wholesome, low-calorie treat.
- Simple: Made in minutes with just 4 ingredients.
Ingredients
- Spinach: I used baby spinach for this smoothie, but feel free to use regular spinach.
- Pineapple: I used frozen pineapple for convenience, but fresh pineapple works just as well. If you use fresh pineapple, I recommend using frozen banana to keep the smoothie chilled.
- Banana: The riper the banana, the sweeter the smoothie. I used fresh banana for this recipe, but you can also use frozen banana.
- Plant-based milk: I used homemade almond milk, but other non-dairy options like oat, coconut, or cashew milk are great alternatives. You can also use coconut water or plain water for a lighter, hydrating smoothie.
