Green Detox Smoothie with Spinach & Pineapple
A bright, tropical blend of spinach, pineapple, banana, and coconut water for a quick green smoothie.
Pineapple and banana do the heavy lifting on flavor here, so the spinach mostly disappears into a smooth, tropical-tasting drink.
This smoothie is tagged for detox and cleanse routines because it leans on hydrating coconut water and fiber-rich fruits and greens, the kind of light, plant-forward combination many people reach for when resetting their eating habits. A spoonful of chia seeds is an easy way to add a bit more staying power.
Blend until smooth, then pour over ice if you want it extra cold.
Frozen pineapple works just as well as fresh and helps keep the smoothie cold without watering it down with ice. This one is best enjoyed the same day it's made, since the color and texture are freshest right after blending.
