This Easy Green Smoothie is quick to prepare and packed full of healthy ingredients. Made with spinach, juicy pineapple, banana, and sweet apple, it’s tasty and delicious. Kid-approved too!
I love a good green smoothie! Sometimes life gets so busy it seems like there isn’t enough time to make a smoothies as often as I would like. So for a year now I’ve been trying out different recipes for super simple smoothies. Sometimes in the past, I have just blended spinach, pineapple, and water. It was good enough for me but my kids didn’t like it.
Once I tried this recipe for EASY GREEN SMOOTHIE I knew I had found just what I was looking for! A SUPER SIMPLE, QUICK, AND TASTY smoothie recipe that my kids and I loved!
The ingredients are so simple! You just need:
Banana
Pineapple Chunks
Apple (a sweet variety, like Gala or Fuji)
Spinach
Water, Apple Juice, or Coconut Water
Easy Green Smoothie Health Benefits:
Spinach- Rich in minerals, vitamins, fiber, antioxidants, protects against diseases… I could go on and on!
Banana- Loaded with essential vitamins and minerals, is a mood and energy booster.
Pineapple- Vitamin C, boost the immune system, rich in antioxidants, makes your skin glow.
Water, Apple Juice or Coconut Water- Water is always a good idea! Apple juice does have natural sugars but by adding 1/2 water and 1/2 apple juice my kids like the smoothie better. You can add whichever liquid you prefer though! The original recipe calls for 3/4 cup coconut water. This is a good option too because coconut water has antioxidants, is a good source of nutrients, low in calories, boost energy levels, and much more!
Optional to add, either or both of these next two ingredients.
Chia Seeds- Iron, Calcium, fiber, antioxidants, plant protein, omega 3’s, boosts energy and metabolism.
Flax Seed- Great source of omega-3, fiber, healthy hormone balance, anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting.
If you would like this smoothie to be creamier, you can add some Greek yogurt. (Around 1/3-1/2 cup.)
All these health benefits I listed above are amazing and it’s only a small description of how wonderful each of these ingredients is!
