Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by preparing the fruit. Peel the banana and chop it into chunks. If you're using fresh pineapple, remove the skin and core, then cut it into cubes.
-
In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks, banana pieces, and fresh spinach leaves. Spinach is a great source of vitamins and minerals, adding an extra boost of nutrition to this smoothie.
-
Pour in the coconut water and add the plain unsweetened yogurt. The coconut water lends a subtle sweetness, while the yogurt adds creaminess and probiotics, which are excellent for your digestive system.
-
Sprinkle in the chia seeds for a dose of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Chia seeds also help thicken the smoothie and provide a satisfying texture.
-
If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, drizzle in honey to taste. Remember that the riper your fruits are, the sweeter your smoothie will be naturally.
-
Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender. The ice will help chill the smoothie and give it a refreshing, slushy consistency.
-
Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, you can always add a splash more coconut water to reach your desired consistency.
-
Once blended to perfection, pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. Garnish with a slice of pineapple or a sprinkle of chia seeds for an extra touch of elegance.
