Ingredients
Fruits and Vegetables
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- ½ cup frozen mango chunks
- ½ medium ripe avocado
- 1 inch knob of ginger, peeled
- 2 cups organic spinach
Liquids
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, plus more as necessary
Optional Add-ins
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds or flaxseed meal
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Make sure the pineapple and mango chunks are frozen to achieve a cold and thick smoothie texture. Peel the ginger and slice if necessary for easier blending.
- Add to Blender: Place all the fruits, avocado, ginger knob, spinach, and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into a high-powered blender.
- Blend Smooth: Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until all the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth. Pause to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add additional almond milk, a little at a time, and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.
- Optional Boost: Add hemp seeds or flaxseed meal if desired and pulse briefly to incorporate.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for maximum freshness and nutritional benefits.
Notes
- You can customize the smoothie by swapping spinach for kale or adding a handful of fresh herbs like mint.
- Use frozen fruits to make the smoothie thick and cold without adding ice.
- For a sweeter smoothie, add a small amount of honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Adding hemp seeds or flaxseed meal boosts omega-3 fatty acids and fiber content.
- This smoothie is best consumed immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; stir well before drinking.
