Calories 299 kcal
- 1 small frozen banana
- 0.5 cup heaping frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup coconut water (or unsweetened almond milk)
- 0.25 cup fresh cucumber chopped
- 1 cup packed baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds
- 2 tablespoons unflavored collagen or protein powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated) or ginger powder
- 0.25 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 3-6 ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)
Start Smart: Pour about ΒΎ cup of your chosen liquid (coconut water or almond milk) into your high-speed blender. Add all the fresh spinach and blend on high until there are no leafy chunks left and it's super smooth. This trick ensures no spinach bits in your sip!
Add the Goodies: Now, toss in the frozen banana, frozen pineapple, chopped cucumber, flax seeds, collagen (or protein powder), cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric. Start blending on a low speed, then gradually increase to high.
Blend to Perfection: Keep blending on high for about 50-60 seconds until your smoothie is completely creamy and lump-free. If you prefer a thinner consistency, feel free to add the remaining ΒΌ cup of liquid now and give it another quick blend.
Sip and Enjoy: Pour your vibrant, healthy smoothie into a glass and enjoy this refreshing boost, perfect for a sunny day!
