Description

This vibrant Detox Smoothie is a refreshing blend of nutrient-rich spinach, creamy avocado, and tangy pineapple, combined with hydrating coconut water and zesty ginger. Itโ€™s a perfect way to kickstart your day or rejuvenate your body with a burst of vitamins and minerals.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (packed)
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut water
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tsp chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather ingredients: Collect all the ingredients and measure them out accurately.
  2. Combine in blender: Add the fresh spinach, avocado, frozen pineapple chunks, unsweetened coconut water, grated ginger, and chia seeds (if using) to a high-powered blender.
  3. Blend until smooth: Secure the lid on the blender and process the ingredients on high speed until they are thoroughly combined and the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blenderโ€™s power.

Notes

  • For added protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a tablespoon of almond butter.
  • To make it sweeter, add a touch of honey or a few drops of liquid stevia.
  • For a thicker smoothie, use less coconut water or add more frozen pineapple.
  • This smoothie can be turned into popsicles for a refreshing frozen treat.
