Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup coconut water
- ½ cup carrots
- ½ cup strawberries frozen
- ½ cup pineapple frozen
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions

- Add remaining ingredients and blend again.
Notes
- Meal prep friendly: You can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking.
- Use frozen fruit: Add at least one frozen fruit (like strawberries or pineapple) to keep the smoothie cold and thick. If using all fresh ingredients, serve over ice for a chilled finish.
- Carrot tip: If you don't have a high-speed blender, using steamed carrots makes it easier to blend, or you can also leave them raw if you have the right smoothie blenders.
- Make smoothie packs: Prep frozen meal prep smoothie packs by portioning spinach, strawberries, carrots, and pineapple into freezer bags. When ready to blend, just add coconut water and go.
