Green Smoothie

​Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh spinach (or kale, if preferred)
• 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
• 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
• 1 banana (preferably frozen for a creamier texture)
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for added nutrition)
• Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat it dry.
   • Peel and slice the banana if it’s not already frozen.
   • Measure out the frozen fruit and milk.
2. Blend the Smoothie:
   • In a blender, combine the spinach, frozen pineapple, frozen mango, banana, Greek yogurt, and almond milk.
   • Blend until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
3. Sweeten and Add Extras:
   • Taste the smoothie and add honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
   • If using chia seeds or flaxseeds, add them to the blender and blend briefly to mix them in.
4. Optional: Ice:
   • If you want a thicker texture, add a few ice cubes and blend again until smooth.
5. Serve:
   • Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately.

Tips:

• Greens: Spinach has a milder taste compared to kale, but you can use either depending on your preference.
• Frozen Fruit: Using frozen fruit helps create a thicker, creamier texture. You can also use fresh fruit but might need to add a few ice cubes.
• Yogurt: Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein. If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can use coconut yogurt or omit it.
