Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 kiwis ripe
- 1 medium banana
- 1 cup (165 g) frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup (30 g) fresh spinach leaves tightly packed
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk of choice I used almond milk, or use water
- ½ cup (120 g) Greek yogurt for a vegan option, use a dairy-free yogurt
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup, if extra sweetness is desired
Instructions
- Peel the kiwis and place them in a blender. Add the banana, pineapple, spinach leaves, almond milk, and Greek yogurt.
- Blend on high until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add a bit more almond milk and blend again.
- Taste the smoothie. If you'd like it to be sweeter, add honey or maple syrup to taste and blend once more.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy it immediately.

Notes
- Ripe Fruit: Ensure your kiwi and banana are ripe before using them in the smoothie for the best natural sweetness.
- Frozen Fruit: Freeze your fruit ahead of time for a thicker, colder smoothie.
- Spinach: Make sure that the spinach you're using is RAW (fresh or frozen). Cooked spinach does not taste good in smoothies.
- Smoothie Packs: Prepare smoothie packs with pre-portioned ingredients and freeze them for a quick and easy smoothie preparation.
- Sweetness: Adjust the level of sweetness to your liking. Remember, the ripeness of your fruits will impact the sweetness of your smoothie.
- Dietary Restrictions: This smoothie is easily customizable to various dietary needs. Swap out dairy for non-dairy milk and yogurt for vegan options.
- Storage: Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. If storing, give it a good stir before drinking.
- Additional Add-ins: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a tablespoon of seeds (like chia or flaxseeds) for an extra boost.
