Vegan Tropical Smoothie
Servings: 1
This vegan tropical smoothie is light, refreshing, and beginner-friendly. Made with spinach, orange, banana, and frozen pineapple, it blends into a smooth, naturally sweet drink you can enjoy any time of day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- ½ cup water
- ½ orange peeled
- ½ cup pineapple frozen
- ½ banana
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Pour the water into a blender. Add the spinach and orange and blend until smooth.
- Add the pineapple, banana and protein powder, if using, and blend on high until smooth, 45 to 60 seconds. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Liquid Tip: The orange acts as both fruit and liquid, so this uses less water than most smoothies. If your orange is very juicy, start with less water, or use coconut water for a slightly sweeter blend.
- Greens Swap: Swap the spinach for kale or another leafy green you have on hand.
- Make It Thicker: The frozen pineapple does the chilling here. For a colder, thicker smoothie, freeze the banana too.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.
