Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie blending fresh spring greens, citrus, and sweet fruit for a refreshing and healthy start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups packed baby spinach
  • 10–12 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup chopped ripe pineapple
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, can substitute with maple syrup for vegan)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 4–6 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Rinse the baby spinach and fresh mint leaves thoroughly under cold water. Chop the pineapple into bite-sized chunks if not pre-cut. Peel the banana and set aside.
  2. Cut the lemon in half and use a citrus juicer or your hand to squeeze out about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Remove any seeds.
  3. Place the baby spinach, mint leaves, pineapple chunks, banana, lemon juice, honey, and almond milk into your blender. Add ice cubes last to keep them on top for easy blending.
  4. Start on low speed, then gradually increase to high. Blend until you see no leafy pieces and the smoothie is creamy and vibrant green. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more honey, banana, or lemon juice if desired. Blend briefly again to mix.
  6. Pour into your favorite glass and serve immediately for the best texture and taste.

Notes

For a colder smoothie without watering it down, freeze banana chunks ahead of time. Blend greens first with liquid to avoid clumps. Avoid overloading with ice to prevent dilution. Best enjoyed immediately or within 20 minutes to prevent separation.
