Description
A quick, 5-minute green smoothie that blends frozen pineapple, spinach, and fresh ginger for a refreshing, anti-bloat drink with no added sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach (packed)
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger root
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 3–4 mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Peel the fresh ginger root and chop it into rough chunks.
- Pour the coconut water and lemon juice into the blender first.
- Add the spinach, frozen pineapple chunks, ginger, and ice cubes.
- Blend on low speed initially, then increase to high and blend for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding honey or more liquid if needed.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
For best texture, use frozen pineapple rather than fresh. If using fresh spinach, ensure it is packed down. Drink immediately to prevent oxidation and nutrient loss. For a thicker consistency, add more frozen fruit or less liquid.
