Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut milk divided
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks frozen
  • 1 avocado ripe, peeled and pitted
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice fresh squeezed
  • 1-2 teaspoons pure maple syrup optional, for added sweetness

Instructions

  • Add ½ cup of coconut milk, frozen pineapple chunks, avocado, fresh spinach, and lime juice to a high-speed blender.
  • Blend on high until the mixture is mostly smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender.
  • Add ice cubes if it is too thin and blend again. If the smoothie is too thick, add more coconut milk a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Taste the smoothie. If needed, adjust the sweetness by adding raw honey or maple syrup to taste. Blend again briefly to mix in any additional sweetener.
  • Pour the smoothie into a glass. Garnish with a pineapple slice or a sprinkle of shredded coconut, if desired.

Notes

Tip: For best results, use a high-speed blender. If using a standard blender, blend in smaller amounts slowly at a time with the liquid ingredients first to ensure smoothness.
Top Tip: Freeze your own pineapple cores using a pineapple corer and drop them in your smoothie. They have a higher concentration of bromelain for an anti-inflammatory boost!
Note: Be sure to scrape down the sides and blend well to avoid pieces of spinach in your drink!
