Pineapple Green Smoothie
Servings: 1
This pineapple green smoothie skips the banana and uses frozen pineapple, orange and lemon to brighten a full cup of kale. The cucumber and coconut water keep it light and refreshing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup kale
- 1 cup coconut water unsweetened
- ½ orange peeled
- ¼ cucumber peeled
- 1 cup pineapple frozen
- ¼ lemon peeled
Instructions
- Pour the coconut water into a blender. Add the kale and orange and blend on high until smooth.
- Add the cucumber, pineapple and lemon. Blend on high until smooth, 45 to 60 seconds, adding a splash more liquid if it's too thick. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Liquid Swap: Plain water works in place of the coconut water.
- Greens Swap: Swap the kale for other leafy greens. Spinach gives a milder flavor.
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of homemade protein powder for a more filling smoothie.
- Make Ahead: Portion the kale, orange, cucumber, pineapple and lemon into freezer bags, then blend from frozen with the coconut water when you're ready.
