  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 smoothie

Ingredients

Fruits

  • ½ cup frozen pineapple
  • ½ cup frozen mango
  • 1 small ripe banana

Dairy & Liquid

  • ⅓ cup Skyr yogurt or Greek yogurt
  • ⅔ cup milk of choice (adjust as needed for consistency)

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
  • Large handful of fresh spinach
  • 4 fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients, ensuring the pineapple and mango are frozen and the banana is ripe for natural sweetness.
  2. Layer Ingredients in Blender: Place the frozen pineapple and mango at the bottom of the blender jar to aid in smooth blending, then add the banana, yogurt, spinach, mint leaves, and honey or maple syrup if using.
  3. Add Milk: Pour in ⅔ cup of your preferred milk to start, which will help the blending process and dictate the smoothie’s thickness.
  4. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, gradually add more milk up to 1 cup until your desired consistency is reached.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the freshest flavor and nutritional benefits.
  6. Optional Add-Ins: Feel free to add your favorite protein powder to boost protein content or adjust sweetness according to taste.

Notes

  • To increase protein, add your preferred protein powder before blending.
  • Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight glass container, such as a mason jar, in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. Fill the jar completely to minimize air exposure and preserve freshness.
  • Make sure to blend thoroughly for a smooth texture, especially if you modify the amount of milk.
  • This smoothie is an excellent way for those who dislike greens to enjoy spinach unnoticed.
